Support UTF-8 in all translation strings.

It seems we can do QTextCodec::setCodecForTr("UTF-8") to switch tr() to be interpreted as UTF-8.

Looks like jus fixed this by switching away from the → character. We may want to address this in the future, so renaming and removing from 1.11.0

Instead of find-replacing all tr() calls with trUtf8(), I think we should go the setCodecForTr route.

Thank you for adopting this one,

Before you do any changes please read:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qobject.html#trUtf8
and check what happens if you checkout on Windows with a Latin-1 char set.
.. and report the result here.

I think I have fixed this but when I run tests I get:

ControllerEngine: Loading "./res/controllers/common-controller-scripts.js"
TearDown
ControllerEngine shutting down...
[1] 8912 segmentation fault (core dumped) ./mixxx-test

Any idea what might be wrong? (I have no controllers attached)

have you tried the test without your changes?

You can run the tests inside gdb to find out what happens.

just replace mixxx with mixxx-test.

I tried the test without my changes and it gave me same result as I've mentioned.
I also tried tests inside gdb but I'm clueless. Here's the backtrace: http://www.pastebin.ca/2363159.

That is not your fault. The test build does not work currently see Bug #1038234

Daniel, could you please look at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~konarak/mixxx/fixes/revision/3826 ?

Here's the patch. I have verified this using
qDebug() << QTextCodec::codecForTr()->name();

I've tested this with non-ascii characters on linux and it's working. I do not have access to a windows machine so I'm not sure about that.

If you explain how you verified it I can test it on windows over the weekend

It also works on windows. I commited your patch to trunk
