Hi all
I'm trying to use liblouis to translate some german text to Braille. Now
if I use umlauts (i.e. ü) I get some unexpected results:
$ echo 'hübsch' | lou_translate -f de-de-g0.utb
h$"a'\x00bc'bsch
The table de-de.dis defines ü properly as \X00FC in the following line:
display \X00FC 234568 # 252ü Latin small letter u with diaeresis
The table de-de-g0.utb defines it again as follows:
uplow \x00DC\x00FC 1256 # u with dieeresis
which seems correct to me.
If I put the word 'hübsch' (= 'pretty') into a utf8 encoded file
(umlaut-test) I get above result
$ lou_translate -f de-de-g0.utb < umlaut-test
h$"a'\x00bc'bsch
However if I encode the file with latin-1 I get the result I expect:
$ lou_translate -f de-de-g0.utb < umlaut-test2
h8bsch
How can I translate utf8 content?
Regards
