Translations file Messages_de.properties has incorrect encoding

Issue Type:	Bug
Assignee:	Ognjen Bubalo
Attachments:	jacoco_plugin_encoding.png, Messages_de.properties
Components:	jacoco-plugin
Created:	2018-12-13 08:35
Environment:	Jenkins JaCoCo Plugin 0.8.2 Jenkins 2.150.1
Labels:	encoding translation
Priority:	Trivial
Reporter:	Stephan Vollmer

The translations file Messages_de.properties appears to be in UTF-8 encoding instead of the expected ISO-8859-1 encoding.

This causes the translated strings to contain garbled chars instead of German umlauts. (See attached screenshot for an example.)

I created a patched file by converting it to ISO-8859-1. This file is attached to this issue.

centic resolved as Fixed

I took a different approach and replaced all non-ASCII characters in the property files for German and Spanish to make the encoding of the file irrelevant and avoid issues with different IDEs/Systems altogether.
