Non-Latin-1 characters in properties files?
[270 byte] By [hbquikcomjamesla] at [2007-10-1 8:11:38] 
We are having substantial difficulties translating a properties file into Turkish (which uses 6 characters outside the Latin 1 code page). The only way we've found to encode them that seems to work is to encode them with backslash escapes. Is there a better way?
No, what you did is what you have to do. From the API documentation for Properties:
"When saving properties to a stream or loading them from a stream, the ISO 8859-1 character encoding is used. For characters that cannot be directly represented in this encoding, Unicode escapes are used; however, only a single 'u' character is allowed in an escape sequence. The native2ascii tool can be used to convert property files to and from other character encodings."
