Hey @zouyi100,

In step 5, do you use the ui5 serve command or do you use ui5 build to build the app and test it using a different server?

Hi, @RandomByte

In step 5, I used the ui5 serve -o index.html command.
And the Chinese words became mass code.

But when I use the 'go live' module in vscode. it works.

Also, I have run ui5 build and deploy the dist folder to SCP Cloud Foundry env, and it is also the mass code.

Thank you!

Thanks. Have you already tried setting the propertiesFileSourceEncoding configuration in your ui5.yaml to UTF-8?

Documentation: https://sap.github.io/ui5-tooling/pages/Configuration/#encoding-of-properties-files

Example: https://github.com/SAP-samples/openui5-sample-app/blob/master/ui5.yaml
