Handle localized text in UTF-8 format

[duard-sf]

I have found that text containing accents (e.g. "é", "è", "ö") are transmitted as "�" from the server.
I have tried inspecting the source code, but I am unable to find anything useful.

Example:
nl.json:

{
  "Validation:PasswordLowerCase": "Eén kleine letter"
}

response from application-configuration endpoint:

{
  localization: {
    values: {
      <app resource>: {
        Validation:PasswordAlphanumeric: "E�n alfanumeriek teken"
      }
    }
  }
}

Perhaps during serialization/de-serialization the text is converted to ASCII? How could we specify that localized text should be handled as UTF-8? That being said, should at least UTF-8 not be the default, to be able to support the various characters used in different languages?

ABP doesn't make something like that. However, we should test this and investigate the root problem. Thanks for reporting.

Yes, thank you. This will unfortunately will be quite a blocker, since the website needs to be translated to Dutch. Perhaps in the meantime we could try to use words that do not contain accents 😅

I don't think so, since that solution seems to be to update Visual Studio? I am pretty much up to date with the latest version of VS 2019.

@duard-sf I will check it out. : )

You need to modify the encoding format of the json file (UTF-8)

Ah, so simple, yet I haven't thought of it! Thanks all for the help, this resolves the issue 👍
