[Solved] Ticket #4170 - Incompatibility of spanish translation and exporting to SVG

[Nefred]

There is a problem of incompatibility when trying to export to a SVG file, using the Spanish translation of the program.

There are some Spanish characters (á, ó), which are generated in lines 3 and 4 of the SVG file, resulting in a void virtualisation of the SVG file when opening it in Chrome or Internet Explorer. Those files can be opened by Inkscape, or they are properly generated when using the English interface of FreeCAD. It is solved too, when editing the SVG file by using the Notepad.

But the best solution would be to avoid these "problematic" characters when generating the SVG using the Spanish File. How could it be changed?

Thank you very much!!!

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Have you tried the latest 0.19? Please attach your full FreeCAD info as described in the IMPORTANT forum rules linked above.

There are some Spanish characters (á, ó), which are generated in lines 3 and 4 of the SVG file, ...

Lines like this?

Code: Select all

 <title>FreeCAD SVG Export</title>
 <desc>Drawing page: Page exported from FreeCAD document: _5mmCube</desc>

What version are you using please?

[Nefred]

Thank you very much for your answers!

I'm using the current stable version: 0.18.16131

Previously I've used a 0.16 version without any problem when exporting SVG files using the Spanish translation.

The problem is in the following lines, which are automatically generated:

Code: Select all

 <title>Exportación de SVG de FreeCAD</title>
 <desc>Página de dibujo: Page exportado desde documento de FreeCAD: __13__Pieza_1_para_acotar</desc>
 

It has to be noticed that I used this software with my 14-year-old students, and I need something stable to be easily used by them at their homes when they download FreeCAD. (if it would be only used by me, there wouldn't be any problem, because I'd edit the svg file, but...)

Thank you!

I am having difficulty duplicating your results using:
OS: Linux Mint 19
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.3.
Build type: Release
Python version: 2.7.15+
Qt version: 5.9.5
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: English/Canada (en_CA)

What do you see when you try to display the svg file in IE/Chrome?

I am having a similar problem with German Umlauts in a drawing title of a SVG-file.
I am getting the following errormessage in Firefox at opening of such a SVG-file:

Code: Select all

XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: nicht wohlgeformt
Adresse: file:///F:/FreeCAD/Debugging/TechDraw19ISOA4Umlauts.svg
Zeile Nr. 71, Spalte 47:     <tspan xml:space="preserve">DRAWING TITLE
----------------------------------------------^

Which means: XML-computation error: not well formed.
I had to delete the garbage in the error message after DRAWING TITLE, as I got otherwise an error in the Preview of this post.
I added

ÄÖÜß

in FreeCAD to the DRAWING TITLE.
The files are attached.

My FreeCAD version is:
OS: Windows 10 (10.0)

Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit

I am having a similar problem with German Umlauts in a drawing title of a SVG-file.

Try changing the first line of the template to this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no"?>

and let me know how what happens.

Thanks,

Code: Alles auswählen

I changed the line directly in the SVG-file. Firefox opens the drawing then without error message.

Same result here.

So the template files are really encoded "Latin-1" but marked "Utf-8", or the code is inserting "Latin-1" text into a "Utf-8" document.

Thanks.

So the template files are really encoded "Latin-1" but marked "Utf-8", or the code is inserting "Latin-1" text into a "Utf-8" document.

As the templates contain only English text, there should be no difference between "Latin-1" and "Utf-8". So I do suspect the latter, that "Latin-1" is inserted in the "Utf-8" document.

I deleted the four characters "ÄÖÜß" with an editor and the file was four bytes smaller. So this are one byte characters meaning "Latin-1" coded.
