Yeah, my statement my have been a bit ambiguous.

What I meant is the "tools" shipped with Xcode 3.0 and later supports UTF-8 in constant strings 8-).

The tools include genstrings.

And, please file a bug for updating the doc.

Thanks,

Aki

Aki,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm not sure you understood however.  I know that the compiler accepts
UTF8 in constant NSStrings, but what I'm not sure about is the
'genstrings' command line tool (see 'man genstrings'). I've tested, and genstrings works with non-ASCII strings, but the docs say it doesn't. I
want to be sure the docs are just old and that I'm not getting lucky.

Still it's recommended to keep your constant strings ASCII-only for
performance.

Well, performance is secondary to correctness.

Thanks,

Sean

Hi all,

The docs for NSLocalizedString() say "In order to be parsed
correctly by
genstrings, 'key' should not contain any high-ASCII characters."

On 10.5.4 / Xcode 3.1, this does not seem to be true. Anyone know if the docs are simply out of date? I suspect that since 10.5 now allows
UTF8 in @"" strings that NSLocalizedString/genstrings were updated
as well.
