[GRASS-dev] rules for testing GUI components for encoding errors before commit ?

[Moritz Lennert]

Hi,

I just posted a bug report about encoding issues in the new Vector 
network analysis tool [1].

More generally: I regularly get these kinds of encoding errors in the 
wxGUI. And I guess some of them only show up once translators have 
translated the strings of a new module. Maybe we should try to define 
some general rules / a how-to about testing new GUI components for such 
potential encoding issues. We could also propose a toolkit in form of 
example strings to put into the code, or through the obligation to test 
with at least two .po files in languages with special characters.

What do the GUI developers think about this ?
