Subject: Re: Problems with german_UTF8 language 

Just an update: I've re-compiled, reinstalled and restarted elogd for other reasons and now the corrupted strings are all gone. Everthing looks fine now.

But I never worry when a problem goes away before I could understand it: I'm confident that I will have plenty of time later, when the problem magically re-appears - likely I'll be called on a Friday night :-)

Hi Stefan,

since recently (a few weeks) ELOG confuses the language translations.
Individual language strings are translated into garbage; most other strings are fine.
Currently I see the string "please select" translated into "ressed" (see attached picture), instead of what's written correctly in the language file "bitte auswählen".
But with every restart the corrupted strings vary: other strings are affected and other garbage strings are shown - some of them unreadable binary code (see Attachment 2).
I have the same version running in English: I see no problems there.
Kind regards

Andreas
