Changing the Encoding Type

Change the encoding type in Preferences.

If you manually localize the locale properties file using an external editor, you must make sure the file is encoded in ASCII, so that the content can be correctly read and converted to Unicode. The localization file is encoded in standard ISO-8859-1. All non-ASCII character values are converted to escaped Unicode hexadecimal values before they are written to the properties files. Before translating the localization file, select the correct file encoding option, for example UTF-8.
  1. In Sybase Unwired Platform, select Window > Preferences.
  2. Expand General > Content Types.
  3. In the right pane, select, Text > Java Properties File.
  4. In the File Associations list, select *.properties(locked).
  5. In the Default encoding field, change ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8, and click Update.
