Files output with nonsense text

[kanetik]

I ran the task and got a lot of text that looks like this:

??????
???????
??????????????????????????????
???
??
??????????????
???

I had previously tried Android Localizationer, and that had pretty much the same issue: westlinkin/AndroidLocalizationer#17 - it was an encoding issue.

Can you provide a simple strings.xml that reproduces the issue and include the androlate block from your build.gradle file.

Didn't even notice it had stripped out the tags from around the ???... Here's the English:

<resources>
    <string name="deactivate">Deactivate</string>
    <string name="bulb_description">Wakey Toggle</string>
    <string name="premium_upgrade_success">Thank you for upgrading to premium!</string>
    <string name="help">Help</string>
    <string name="add">Add</string>
    <string name="upgrade_to_premium">Upgrade to Premium!</string>
    <string name="why">Why?</string>
</resources>

and the Japanese:

<resources>
    <string name="deactivate">??????</string>
    <string name="bulb_description">???????</string>
    <string name="premium_upgrade_success">??????????????????????????????</string>
    <string name="help">???</string>
    <string name="add">??</string>
    <string name="upgrade_to_premium">??????????????</string>
    <string name="why">???</string>
</resources>

And finally, the Androlate block (minus the API Key andproject name):

androlate {
    appName '{project name was here, but not gonna include that here}'
    apiKey '{key was here, but not gonna include that here}'
    defaultLanguage 'en'
    targetLanguages = ['ja']
}

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on OS X or Windows 10 but I'm assuming your default encoding is not UTF-8. I published version 0.2 that explicitly sets the encoding of the output file to UTF-8 if you would like to try it.
