Japanese characters in Mailman archive
by Venkatesh Raghavan 16 May '01

16 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

" # Pipermail assumes that messages bodies contain US-ASCII text. # Change this option to define a different character set to be used as # the default character set for the archive. The term "character set" # is used in MIME to refer to a method of converting a sequence of # octets into a sequence of characters. If you change the default # charset, you might need to add it to VERBATIM_ENCODING below. DEFAULT_CHARSET = None " DEFAULT_CHARSET is intended only to pipermail messages. You should take a glance to DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE option at the end of Defaults.py There is also an explanation about what to do for supporting new languages. In one file I send to this list named i18n.README.en, is also described how to deal with catalogues and new languages. All of this can be looked at the archives. One more thing, I have understood you have modified general *.txt located in $prefix/templates but in order to take effect you must copy them into particular list templates.

Swedish characters
by Mikael Sjöblom 30 Apr '01

Hi! I have recently installed mailman and I am now trying to figure out how to make it accept swedish characters (åäö) in the templates (such as verify.txt/subscribeack.txt). Can anyone help me out? I tried to find an answer to that question in the mailman-i18n-archive but I cant find anything about it there and I can´t find any documentation about this anywhere. Thanks in advance!!! /Micke Mikael Sjöblom Teknisk koordinator SR Nya Medier 10510 Stockholm 08-784 5296 073-3845296
