Description

Steps to reproduce it:

  2. Select Portuguese in the right selector
  3. Type "nasty"
  • The same happens for French in the word "kiwi"
  • The same happens for German in the word "hair brush"
  • The same happens for Italian in the word "bamboo"


Issue:

The translated words are shown in the Translation Entry, but they are an incorrect encoding. It should be Unicode.

I think the IDP file format (where the Words word lists are derived from) is only capable of ASCII representation:

There are some strange hacks described in order to get diacritic marks "encoded" in this ACSII format. The use of ASCII by Words should obviously be replaced by Unicode and the diacritic mark hacks in the word lists modified.
