Polish characters in editor

[mirek_zaklosa]

Hello,

I'm trying to put some text to QMessageBox:

QMessageBox::warning(this,"B??d","Prosz? wybra? lub wpisa? numer");

QMessageBox::warning(this,"B??d","Prosz? wybra? lub wpisa? numer");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

after compiling i've got:

Is your source string correctly encoded in UTF-8?

Check that you are not using a local encoding, like latin2 or some weird Windows codec.

Cheers,

I've checked it before I wrote.

I've UTF-8 in editor settings in QT Creator:
qt1.png

In editor there is correctly:
qt2.png

I've checked encoding by Notepad++:
qt3.png


I now I compiled and....still is wrong
qt4.png

Hmm, strange.

Can you try

const QString message = QString::fromUtf8(.....);
qDebug() << message;
QMessageBox::warning(this, message);

const QString message = QString::fromUtf8(.....);
qDebug() << message;
QMessageBox::warning(this, message);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

i.e. explicitly convert from UTF-8 and also writing it to the application output?

Cheers,

As always - the best way is to not anything else than ascii for strings in the source code and do a proper translation with linguist.

Regardless of what is in your source code, it seems that it is being inserted into the compiled binary encoded as Windows-1250 that is subsequently being interpreted as Windows-1252:

// What should be there
B      ł  ą   d        ć
U+0042 U+0142    U+0105    U+0064   U+0107
0x42   0xC5 0x82 0xC4 0x85 0x64     0xC3 0xA6   encoded with UTF-8
 
// What seems to be there in the binary
0x42 0xB3 0xB9 0x64   0xE6   encoded with Windows-1250
B    ³    ¹    d      æ      if interpreted as Windows 1252

// What should be there

0x42   0xC5 0x82 0xC4 0x85 0x64     0xC3 0xA6   encoded with UTF-8

// What seems to be there in the binary
