I'm trying to make my windchillda menus in Turkish, but it doesn't read Turkish characters. I added encoding utf-8 to navigation xml files, but it didn't work. How else can I do?

Ha, so you use the RBInfo definition. It is very important information.

 

In that definition you have to use different character definition. The correct one is UNICODE. It is not encoding of file it is definition of characters.

So you need to find UNICODE definition of your language characters and use it in you source files.

my example is:

so instead of "á" I use "\u00E1" and so on...

PS> your characters unicode-table

Hello @OnurNalbantoglu 

You need to ensure that the file is saved in encoding UTF-8, just adding  it in XML file is not enough

Use notepad++ to change encoding of file.

 

RBInfo files are better solution for description in different languages,.

 example: Action_Localizing_actions

Hi @OnurNalbantoglu 

What character do you use and have a trouble ?

I use a "Ğ" and the character is shown correctly with UTF-8
