Hi,

I'm trying to run my symple application that I made with help of this
tutorial: http://www.gnustep.it/nicola/Tutorials/Renaissance/index.html

I have Ablak.strings file but don't know ho to edit/save it properly to
get the proper character encoding?

I'm editing this file using Emacs and in Emacs one can save file with
UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoding but this is not good for GNUstep.

Say I save this file with C-x RET f utf6be-with-signatures and get this
file:
<FE><FF>^@"^@A^@b^@l^@a^@k^@o^@t^@ ^@b^@e^@z^@<E1>^@r^@"^@ ^@=^@
^@"^@Z^@a^@t^@v^@a^@r^@a^@ ^@a^@p^@l^@i^@k^@a^@c^@i^@j^@u^@"^@
^@"^@J^@<F3>^@ ^@n^@a^@p^@o^@t^@ ^@k^@<ED>^@v^@<E1>^@n^@o^@k^@!^@"^@
^@=^@ ^@"^@D^@o^@b^@a^@r^@ 
^@d^@a^@n^@ ^A~^@e^@l^@i^@m^@!^@"^@

and when I run the application I get messages:
2010-06-11 15:03:22.203 Ablak[2021] File NSBundle.m: 2053. In -[NSBundle
localizedStringForKey:value:table:] Failed to parse strings file
/home/csanyipal/Programozas/Obj_C_ben/Renaissanceval/SzervuszVilag/Ablak.app/Resources/Croatian.lproj/Ablak.strings
- <NSException: 0x975da50> NAME:NSGenericException REASON:Parse failed
at line 2 (char 41) - unexpected character (wanted ';') INFO:(nil)

How can one get the proper encoded strings file?
Which editor and how can one use for this?

Any advices will be appreciated!
