[opencms-dev] Properties files and UTF-8 characters

[Christoph Fröhlich]

We use Springs ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource along with a custom message tag. The site is available in german and english and we plan to add turkish and russian in the near future. Property files are encoded in utf-8. We do not encode non ascii characters like - for example - german umlauts. We write "ü" and "ä" and so on

Regards
christoph
