Blazor used to not have official Localization support (which can help us for tasks like having an app in several languages), so we used libraries like Toolbelt.Blazor.I18nText to have multi-language support. Although this is no longer necessary, since new versions of Blazor have official Localization support, some applications are already made with Toolbelt.Blazor.I18nText anyway.

A recurring problem that some people may encounter with Toolbelt.Blazor.I18nText is that JSONs that contain special characters, such as the ñ and accent marks, appear with errors.

The error is due to encoding of JSON files. Here is the solution:

– Open the JSON that has the error in Visual Studio

– Go to File> Save {File name} as …

– Click Save with Encoding:

– Say you want to replace the file

– Select the appropriate encoding for your situation. In my case I have solved the problem with “Unicode (UTF-8 with signature)“.

That’s it!
