Hi Torsten,

I've first tried it the same way (change the encoding) but for buttons
the encoders class method is used. My workaround know is to use the
method #squeakToIso for strings. All my texts are in one class per locale
and I retrieve them through class methods. So getting the label for a
button like yours would look like

RmsResourceDeDE class>>labelMainStreet
    ^ 'Hauptstraße' squeakToIso

I only do this for strings with umlauts or the sharp s.

Hope this helps. Or just send a mail.
