I am working with some sources that contain "international"
characters used in languages other than english,
(typically french)
Vi interprets sources from unix with accents like é and è
strangely. Windiff and windows programs like notepad
see the same sources from unix with no problem.
What is happening? Is there a setting in bash or vi
that I need to make, keyboard or locale etc?
If so how do I do that? Anybody know?
PS. é in expérience, shows up as expÚrience
è in interprète, shows up as interprÞte
here are few other examples:
Avez-vous dÚjÓ travaillÚ en tant qu'interprÞte
Quelle expÚrience professionnelle d'interprÞte avez-vous
PrÚcisez le nombre de jours d'interprÚtation prestÚs.
Avez-vous dÚjÓ participÚ Ó un test professionnel ou Ó un concours
SÚjours importants Ó l'Útranger ? Indiquez les pays visitÚs, l'annÚe
Bash won't even respond to the keyboard character é (under 2 as lower case).
Just beeps (belgian keyboard setting).
