Hi. The translation files for console apps are wrong. They use utf-8, but in windows cp866 is used for console apps by compatibility reasons. So you should add a prebuild script which will convert codepages.
Hi,
Actually they do not use UTF-8 but whatever the current UI codepage is.
This will be fixed in the 2.2.2 final (has been fixed since the beta release)
