About dialog in french.

SPlatten

I have an about dialog that contains the following license text in English:

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,

FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS
IN THE SOFTWARE.

Using Google translation I got this txt for French:

LE LOGICIEL EST FOURNI « EN L’ÉTAT », SANS GARANTIE D’AUCUNE SORTE, EXPRESSE OU

The problem is when rendered in the dialog I get:

The font used for the QPlainTextEdit is Courier New, 10. Can anyone help me to fix this so it renders with the correct characters?

Why?!

@SPlatten How do you add this text to the dialog?
If this text is a string in your code: does your source code file use UTF-8 encoding?
If you read the text from a file, then how exactly?

@jsulm , like this:

    QString strLanguage(Trainer::sstrLanguage()), strLicense(":/licenses");
    if ( strLanguage.compare(Trainer::mscstrDefaultLanguage) != 0 ) {
        strLicense = QString("%1_%2").arg(strLicense).arg(strLanguage);
    }
    QFile licences(strLicense);
    licences.open(QFile::ReadOnly);
    ui->licences->setPlainText(QString::fromLocal8Bit(licences.readAll()));
