non-ASCII characters for internationalization

[Daniel Martínez-4]

All,

I see special characters are substituted by the special \uXXXX code in
the .properties translation files like

Promoci\u00F3n

Is this needed?
If I edit the translations with an unicode/UTF8 editor (i.e. as with
GeoCodes) will it be enough? Are there some drawbacks?

Thanks,

Daniel,

I think you'll find interesting this Wiki page:

Have a look at the paragraph "How to encode special characters such as
accents in the properies files"
