I'm translating a web page from English to Spanish using gettext, but I'm having problems with UTF-8. |

The problem: |
| 4 |
All my web pages translated with gettext declare themselves as UTF-8 encoding but it is actually iso-8859-1 (latin-1). |
| 5 |
I reach that conclusion using Firefox to enforce the encoding the page is viewed in. Firefox detects page encoding as UTF-8 but displays boxes instead of regular characters. If I force Firefox to use iso-8859-1 the characters are displayed correctly. |

Text from web pages wich have not been translated with gettext is displayed correctly with UTF-8 encoding, so I'm sure it's a gettext problem. |

Te question: |
| 9 |
Why msgfmt generates de .mo file in iso-8859-1 and not in UTF-8? How can I solve it? |

If it helps: |
| 12 |
-All my source files (*.php) are in UTF-8. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
-APACHE is set to use UTF-8 by default UTF-8 (AddDefaultCharset UTF-8) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
-My .po file is in UTF-8: |
| 17 |
# file locale/es_ES/messages.po |
| 18 |
locale/es_ES/messages.po: UTF-8 Unicode PO (gettext message catalogue) text |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
-I've set charset to UTF-8 in the .po header: |
| 21 |
# grep charset locale/es_ES/messages.po |
| 22 |
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n" |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
And the commands I've used to generate the .pot,.po and .mo files are: |
| 26 |
# mkdir -p locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/ |
| 27 |
# xgettext --indent --no-wrap --sort-by-file --from-code=UTF-8 --output locale/messages.pot *.php |
| 28 |
# cp locale/messages.pot locale/es_ES/messages.po |
| 29 |
# msgfmt --verbose --output-file locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo locale/es_ES/messages.po |
