Japanese characters in Mailman archive
by Venkatesh Raghavan 17 May '01

17 May '01

Hi all, I am new to this list and trying to use Mailman to administer a Japanese language ML. I have recently installed Mailman. Mailman no trouble with handling Japanese e-mail messages but archive files (html) do not display Japanese characters properly. The problem seems to do with the html conversion by Mailman. When Mailman encouters '>' it gets replaced with '>'. In the case of Japanese (multibyte) messages, this '>' is generally one byte of double-byte character (Japanese) and as a result the characters get messed up in html files. Archive files in the text format does not have this problem. I am not sure how this problem can be sorted out. Is there a way wherein the replacement of '>' by '>' can be avoided. Or is there a way to generate text files instead of html files. Thanks in advance. Venkatesh Raghavan Osaka City University Japan

what is planned at the moment??
by John Read 19 Jan '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hello, I am not clear what is implemented at the moment?? I see in the CVS code that some unicode text has now been implemented, and I have heard mention that the idea is that the language will be selectable per member. Does this mean that the translation is only focussed on the built-in texts in mailman?? The texts that are in "template" are probably as critical (if not more so) as the built-in texts. I dont know if you have plans to change this, I would be willing to help. I suggest that either: 1: when a new list is generated with "newlist" all texts are copied from "template" into "lists/xxxxx". The list now only uses these versions, which can then be modified by the list administrator. 2: another possibility would be that mailman always searchs a list for its text files, first in "lists/xxxx", and then if it not there in "template". I am looking forward to your comments - -- John Read NewNet Marketing Waldweg 15 83558 Maitenbeth Tel: +49-8076-8879818 Fax: +49-8076-8879819 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBOmfuq9flThNvxm27EQJ1bACgpuqPrHxEf8RAxKioecVk1HB+iVwAnjIL B9G8QLrr8AcuQFvBGjb92lh2 =9MDg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Where are the catalogs in CVS?
by Dan Ohnesorg 08 Jan '01

08 Jan '01

I have just done upgrading the Czech catalogs to the newest version. I have also downloaded the latest CVS version of mailman to test the translation, but Im not able to find the other catalogs and at least the place where the catalogs should be. IS the version in CVS ready or not? Should I download another branch? cheers dan -- ________________________________________ DDDDDD DD DD Dan Ohnesorg, supervisor on POWER DD OOOO Dan(a)feld.cvut.cz DD OODDOO Dep. of Power Engineering DDDDDD OO CTU FEL Prague, Bohemia OO OO work: +420 2 24352785;+420 2 24972109 OOOO home: +420 311 679679;+420 311 679311 ________________________________________ Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.

How translate catalog
by Juan Carlos Rey Anaya 02 Jan '01

02 Jan '01

hello, I have sent catalog to colaborators, and I have sent a message to mailman users so they can know that exist an effort to internationalize Mailman. I have sent catalog to translator, in the file there are lines like: msgid "original text found in sources of Mailman" yes, the ones marked in the first stage. and msgstr "translated text, corresponding to proper messages inside msgid" This means that: msgid lines MUST NOT be modified at all. Don't touch them. The only messages to be modified are 'msgstr' lines. In languages with accented characters, e.j. spanish, italian, french... translated text should be translated depending on intended output 1) web pages: ¿ñáéí... should be represented as ¿ ñ á eacute; iacute;... 2) electronic mail: ¿náéíóú... should be ¿ñáéíóú... NOTE: msgid lines can be multilines strings: e.j. and should be simulated like: # Intended to e-mail #: /home/mailman/Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py:444 msgid "" "Usage: info\n" "To get info for a particular list, send your request to\n" "the '-request' address for that list, or use the 'lists' command\n" "to get info for all the lists." msgstr "" "Sintaxis: info\n" "Para obtener información sobre una lista en particular, envíe su\n" "solicitud a la dirección '-request' de esa lista, o utilice la orden\n" "'lists' para obtener información de todas las listas." # Intended to web page #: /home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py:529 msgid "Turn this on only if you plan on subscribing people manually and don't want them to know that you did so. This option is most useful for transparently migrating lists from some other mailing list manager to Mailman." msgstr "Activarlo solo si tiene previsto subscribir a gente manualmente y no quiere que ellos lo sepan. Esta opción es sobre todo útil para migrar de forma transparente listas de otros gestores de listas de distribución a Mailman" Cheers -- ___ / F \ [[[]]]] ( O O ) #----------------0000--(_)--0000---------------# | Juan Carlos Rey Anaya (jcrey(a)uma.es) | | Servicio Central de informática | | Universidad de Málaga - España | #----------------------------------------------# # Solo se que cada vez se menos :-| # #----------------------------------------------#
