UTF-8 chars mangled

[cloakedninjas]

I have the following in my UTF-8 encoded .po file:

msgid "Start date"
msgstr "Data de início"

After running the CLI command, I get the following JSON (again UTF-8 encoded file)

"Start date":[null,"Data de início"]

Pretty sure this is something at my end, but any pointers would be great 😄

Hmm, what was the exact command you used? Any particular options?

[cloakedninjas]

./node_modules/po2json/bin/po2json i18n/messages-pt-BR.po public/js/app/i18n/messages-pt-br.json

Running on a Mac, if that makes a difference?

Hmm, could you post the header of your PO file in a gist? That might make a difference. It should look something like this (though with Portuguese instead of Polish):

msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: po2json\n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2012-10-26 12:00+0000\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2013-11-08 09:09+0200\n"
"Last-Translator: Illimar Tambek <illimar.tambek@gmail.com>\n"
"Language-Team: po2json\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=(n==1 ? 0 : n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 "
"|| n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2);\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"X-Generator: Poedit 1.5.7\n"
"Language: pl\n"

#: test.js:1
msgid "Hello, world!\n"
msgstr "Witaj, świecie!\n"

etc.

Ah ha - that appears to be the issue, I have no header in my PO file, after copying your sample header into mine, the mojibake went away.

The source of my PO file was downloading directly from www.crowdin.net - I guess there's an issue at their end.

Thanks for your time
