Thank you Nicolas,
I checked and double checked the .lang file, replaced all special
characters, and verified the file encoding.
But then I checked the Norwegian_NB.cat file, and there the answer was!
file -i Norwegian_NB.cat
Norwegian_NB.cat: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
After I updated the file with the correct encoding (and updating som
regex strings) everything was fine.
But it is a strange thing, since this is the output for the Danish translation:
file -i Danish.cat
Danish.cat: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
file -i Danish.lang
Danish.lang: text/plain; charset=utf-8
..and the Danish translation works fine.
So possibly/probably/maybe I might have had a spelling error in the
regex portion of the .cat file which I fixed in the
convert-to-utf8-process.
Thank you for the response and the help.
Best regards,
Rune
