I'm sure this was ages ago, but IIRC, UTF-8 was discussed at some point and the decision was made not to use it because it's support was pretty spotty in the browsers of the time. I'm sure this has improved vastly now and UTF-8 makes the most sense.
Yeah, that sounds like an early-90's conversation; UTF-8 is the one charset no browser messes up these days, as far as I know.
Pretty please, I need to set up a copy of someone's translation toolchain; can someone using OS X or Linux as their work operating system work with me to get an *exact* replica of their toolset?
Have you gotten any love on this issue Ethan?
No love as of this writing. I'm continuing to kick the i18n ball down the field until I can do a translation myself (into gods-knows-what - I'll probably have to rely on my lovely and talented wife to give Russian/Italian a stab.)
When I was working out the basic i18n support I implemented a stupid rot13 translation using nothing more sophisticated than XEmacs and the gettext tools.
Yeah, I can do that if need be. I just assumed there was Something More out there; if not it might be worth the effort to put together a minimalist translation interface.
