Hi,

I am building my first Gui with Swing, and in the same time I need to 
use the i18n to make it work in Japanese and English.

I use Eclipse and its great Visual Editor to save time, all my files are 
utf8 encoded. And, I am under WinXp...

My trouble is the following :
-> If I make a jMenu with some japanese hardcoded text, it appears fine 
in my application.
-> If I use a ResourceBundle to get the text, I have garbage. I use the 
following line: myMenu.setText(myBundleResource.getString("myTest"));
The .properties files for the japanese is also in Utf8

Do you have any idea why the text in the .properties file is not passed 
correctly ? Any help would be really appreciated.

Best Regards,
Schlum

For the record:

The .properties needs to be in ASCII/Latin-1 with any non ASCII/Latin-1 
char encoded with the \u notation, not in utf8

This is difficult to write by hand, so use native2ascii to convert your 
text. I would recommend to add the call to native2ascii to your build 
system.
