[pacman-dev] [Bug] using strlen with utf8

[Pierre Schmitz]

Hi,

it seems as if the function strlen only counts the number of bytes within a 
given string and not the number of characters. In case of utf8 a character 
can have a length of one or two bytes.

The attached screenshot show that in trans.c:337 the length is calculated 
wrong (because he counts the ü twice). When replacing ü with ue everything is 
right.

Pierre
