Don't know if this is a bug or not.. so here it goes.

On the multilevelselect i copied the translation file en-GB.com_cobalt_field_multilevelselect.ini and changed the language inside and on the name of file.

I translated the file (and lang prefix on the name of the file) to 2 languages. Both are UTF-8 and there was a letter which was "ó" inside those files.

pt-PT.com_cobalt_field_multilevelselect.ini worked fine with the field... it was edited using notepad+

pt-BR.com_cobalt_field_multilevelselect.ini worked fine but the levels were not working... and then i realized that the coding used for both files were different.

pt-PT was UTF-8 without bom.

pt-BR was ANSI

I changed the pt-BR coding to UTF-8 without BOM and the levels are now working..

I believe it's not normal that a language file scrambles the field so just to let you know.

No exactly sure what you mean. UTF-8 is the requirement for Joomla language files. And as I understand it works well this way. Why should we case that ANSII is not working?

My problem is fixed... just reported that was not working along with the explanations so that the Code Gurus (Mintjoomla) could see if this is any kind of bug or a user error. If a user error.. please ignore :)

I see :) unfortunately we even cannot do anything to prevent this behavior when user saves language fiels in ANSI. But thank you for report anyway. :)
