Problem with characters (french) was created by edzelig
Hi there,
This plugin is just working great, thanks a lot for this one!  :)

I just have one question about the labels, I created some labels for gallerys but this doesnt display accents (I'm french and need accents in some words: é ç à ...).
So I decided to try to save the labels.txt file on UTF-8 and it doesnt work, and it is not working on UNICODE.
So any idea?

thanks a lot for your help  :)

Hi there!

Hmmm... Can you please post a direct link to the gallery
and a direct link to the labels.txt?

I'm curious to see what happens, because we also use strange characters ( greek!  ;) )
and if we save the labels.txt under UTF-8 ( usually using the notepad )
the labels appear ok.

What edit do you use for the labels.txt?

Thank you!

OK I get it...

So for all people who wants to know or have problems with accents (french, spanish or whatever) here is my methode or the way I could resolve this problem (I dont know if there is a kind of tutorial for people using other language than english and having accents).

So first of all you need to download NOTEPAD ++
go to this link:
notepad-plus.sourceforge.net

Then install it.

Open the program (notepad ++) and go to "Format" (is the 5° option up in the bar)
Choose: UTF-8 (without BOM)

Then you can start to write your labels with accents.

Then go to "save as" and save your file...

Thats all... very important this UTF-8 without BOM...

So it must be "simple" for a lot of you out there, but not for all people not having much knowledge in codes...

Hope this can help somebody here and not loose time like I loose mine

Cheers, and peace...  ;)
