I'm working on translating Strings from English to German, but German words that are already translated are being translated again.
Say I have this word "Beim Hinzuf\u00E4gen" which has already been translated. I want to compare this to the same word but with umlauts, "Beim Hinzufügen". Both files are read as ISO-8859-1, but when I compare the words they are seen as being different and the word is translated again which I don't want. Even when I replace the Umlaut with the unicode and compare the two, they are still seen as different. I'm sure this is because when I replay the umlaut by "\u00E4", there's an extra backslash being added in.
Anyone have an idea of the preferred method for what I'm trying to do.
As @Eugene points out, your result ist correct. You compare "Hinzufügen" with "Hinzufägen", which are different.
Unicode 00E4 is "ä",
Unicode 00FC is "ü".
