Re: Corrupted .strings files

Hi all,

Just going to post this in case anyone else has this problem.

I think the issue might have been that I copied the original
localizable.strings file from another project (not my own) and the encoding
on that file may not have been set to UTF-8.  I don't know this for sure.
However, I am re-creating the .strings files manually now and we'll see.
Everything did work with the original files, but then suddenly they were
corrupted.  I can't think of anything else it could be.

Regards,
Dave.
