Localizable couldn't be opened because the text encoding of its contents can't be determined

[itolisto]

Hello,

Why am i getting "Error! The file Localizable.strings couldn't be opened because the text encoding of its contents can't be determined" ?

• Xcode 10.1
• Deployment Target: 12.1
• Swift Language Version: 4.2

I use

if which bartycrouch > /dev/null; then
# Incrementally update all Storyboards/XIBs strings files
bartycrouch interfaces -p "$PROJECT_DIR/$PROJECT_NAME"

# Add new keys to Localizable.strings files from NSLocalizedString in code
# -k: use un-localized value as default value for translation.
# -s: sort by keys
# -a: only add keys
# -c: override comments
bartycrouch code -p "$PROJECT_DIR/$PROJECT_NAME" -l "$PROJECT_DIR" -a -s -k -c

else
echo "warning: BartyCrouch not installed, download it from https://github.com/Flinesoft/BartyCrouch"
fi

Error

ℹ️ BartyCrouch: Successfully updated strings file(s) of Storyboard or XIB file.
ℹ️ BartyCrouch: Successfully updated strings file(s) of Storyboard or XIB file.

This is how my file "Text Settings" look like:

@itolisto I know, I'm getting back to this very late. But if you're still interested in a solution to this, please provide me a Demo project where I can reproduce this, otherwise I fear I can't fix it.

Will close this since it's very old and not reported by anyone else if no answer soon.
