All Studio versions: Filenames with scandinavian characters get corrupted inside the project packages created by Studio.

Steps to reproduce: create a Studio project for trans files containing [äöå] in their names. When Studio creates a project package for the project, the internal zipping algorithm corrupts these characters. At least in some scenarios this causes problems when the packages are opened/translated/returned and the files need to be renamed manually. It seems that the internal zipping function used by Studio does not handle these extended characters correctly.

Studio project source language folder:

  • Would you mind creating some sample dummy package which exposes the problem on your side?
    I'd like to test reading the ZIP structure on my side (hopefully to prove that the problem is NOT in the ZIP structure).
    The point is that a few years ago I actually did some research in this area because I had issues with ZIPs created on Japanese systems containing files with Japanese and other Unicode characters in names. So I know something about the technicalities concerning Unicode support in ZIP format and the related issues... and also the bugs in various software.
    Unless SDL introduced some serious bug in recent Studio version, I'm pretty positive the problem is NOT in Studio...
