Could you paste your config file in here so I can try to replicate this?

Hi, I apologize for the delay.

Is it possible that you need to change the character encoding for these characters to work?
Alternatively, could you attempt to execute the command you posted in your first post manually to see what and if any error message gettext produces? That will help in determining the problem.

Looking forward to your reply!
