I had it_IT.UTF-8@euro for everything but not LANG, which was it_IT@euro.
There you have it, this is not an UTF-8 locale. Reconfigure your system to use a UTF-8 locale like it_IT.UTF-8. On your Debian system you could run dpkg-reconfigure locales and make sure that the right one shows up in /etc/default/locale. Also set shell variables like LANG and LC_ALL to this value.
What is the status here? If this does not get fixed, I will revert the file to the last UTF-8 version.
it should have been fixed
It is not fixed.
sigh :(
anyway when i svn update it, then file doesn't recognize it again as utf-8. but when i do the commit it is _indeed_ utf-8
What makes you think it is UTF-8? Have you looked at the file in less? In vim (my statusline shows "help/help_mp-it.h" [converted])? Have you checked with the 'file' command?
yes and yes.
can you -or someone else- check if its' really utf'ed in the repo.
It is not UTF-8:
silver:/var/tmp/mplayer_vanilla $ file file help/help_mp-it.h help/help_mp-it.h: Non-ISO extended-ASCII C++ program text
here is the same, but _after_ the commit before, 'file' recognizes it as utf-8 now i'll retry the commit with the utf-8 file i saved..... pls tell me if then it is utf'd... sorry for the annoyance, but anyway this problem must be solved, sigh
now my machine it's ok, after the reinstallation LANG was left as above, now it's all ok.
This sentence confuses me. What is your locale now? What is the value of the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables, what do you have in /etc/default/locale?
€ echo $LANG it_IT.UTF-8@euro € echo $LC_ALL it_IT.UTF-8@euro € cat /etc/default/locale LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
