[NML] Add Umlaute (ä/ö/ü) into a .lng file

Post by PNDA_ »

Hey,

Ive just started developing a new Set, and have come across the issue of not being able to add Umlaute in my .lng file.
Gwyd already tried to help me with this solution at the top of the .lng file which did not work:

Code: Select all

##grflangid 0x01
##plural 0
##gender m w n p
I have looked online but I could not find anything.
Due to DACH having Umlaute in the names it cannot be impossible.
And im trying to have all language files support these Umlaute. That currently being English and German. I am unsure but i think using this works for the German File:

Code: Select all

##grflangid 0x02
##gender m w n p`
If anyone could help me, that would be great,
Thanks

you must make sure your editor is configured to save the file as "utf8", not "windows-1252" or anything else

Yeah, thanks. I didn't think that my editor would not save these files as UTF-8...
Danke
