This is still a bug in fedora 18. Updating version. Ingvar Seems this is simply an error in the coding of the xml file. Its contents should be iso8859-1, but the file is encoded as utf8. A trivial conversion with iconv fails, so I have converted the file manually. I have made a patch that builds and gives the expected result. Ingvar Created attachment 692803 [details]
Fixes double encoding in nb_NO strings.

Created attachment 633686 [details] Screenshot of abiword with broken Norwegian UTF8 characters Description of problem: abiword has wrongly coded, possible double-encoded utf, Norwegian strings in gui elements Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abiword-2.8.6-18 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start abiword with Norwegian locales, like this: LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8 abiword 2. Watch something that looks like double-encoded characters everywhere special Norwegian characters are used in GTK elements like buttons or menues Actual results: Strings with special Norwegian characters are displayed wrongly, possible because of double-encoded UTF8. Example: The word "språk" (language) is displayed as "sprÃ¥k" Expected results: special Norwegian characters æøå ÆØÅ displayed as such. Additional info: See attached screenshot for more examples.
