Can you please tell me what "Haice Eguiten Dut" means. I found it on a fireplace bellows and believe it is from this language. Thank you.

The problem is CODEC_MAP in email/Charset.py, right? Here's a hack for Mailman 2.1.4: -----japanese.py from cjkcodecs import euc-jp, iso-2022-jp, shift_jis -----korean.py from cjkcodecs import euc-kr, cp949, iso-2022-kr, johab We add these two files to Mailman's pythonlib, and then the imports in Charset.py should work correctly. It would be nice if cjkcodecs provided backwards compatibility. Otherwise, we probably want to provide some ourselves in email/Charset.py. I'm not sure there's a better way to do this, but attached is a strawman (untested) patch for email 2.5.5/Python 2.3.4. It's too late to get this into Python 2.3.3, but if this is acceptable, I can check this in for Python 2.3.4, and cut a new email package tarball for Mailman 2.1.4, forgoing the above hack. -Barry

maillist problem in imc-turkey list
by alp 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

hello from istanbul imc. We have a little problem.. our maillist confirmations are sent in english and we want to have it in turkish (coz most folks cant speak english around here) and also we have seen that turkish is not supported on http://www.list.org/i18n.html so can you just send the files to translate to me? and I'll send them back translated in turkish. or can't we at least change the confirmation mail (to join the list) to turkish? coz it's an important point as you might agree:) by the way.. imc-turkey also does not seem to appear in lists.indymedia.org ... waiting to hear from you soon.. solidarity... alp

charset anoyance
by Santiago Garcia Mantinan 25 Dec '03

25 Dec '03

Hi! I'm sending this here because it is language related, sorry if this is not the list to post it. First I see that for the Spanish language we are having iso-8859-1 instead of iso-8859-15 which would allow us to use the euro symbol and all that. Second, I see an anoyance when running lists in a country that different language are used, or even with certain mailers alone, the problem is this: Suppose I have a list which default language is using charset iso-8859-1, then somebody comes and posts in iso-8859-15 and you get it all in three mime parts, one for the header, in iso-8859-1, one for the body in iso-8859-15 and then the footer in iso-8859-1 again. This seems quite anoying, at least when yo look at it. I was wondering if there is, or if it would make sense to add, something so that this doesn't happen. Also I see something that is for sure doable, and it is that when the same person writes with some mailers like mutt and doesn't use any 8 bits character, then the mailer would encode the text as us-ascii, which if I'm not wrong, should mix ok with iso-8859-1, I mean that the hole message could come as one using iso-8859-1, and that is not done right now. Well, just a couple of ideas, that's all. Regards... -- Manty/BestiaTester -> http://manty.net

Problems with cmd_x files (croatian trans.)
by Nino Katic 23 Dec '03

23 Dec '03

Hi, I have problems with text that is shown upon sending "help" command to the -request address of the mailing list. Help text for some commands has been translated correctly but most of it is still on english. I noticed that text in cmd_x.py files begining at line 17 is always shown as english. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thx. and regards, Nino

updates on dutch translations
by Rejo Zenger 18 Dec '03

18 Dec '03

Hello, Earlier today I have contacted both Danny Terweij and Sander Steffann as they are listed as translators for the Dutch language module. Sander Steffann responded quickly and told me he hadn't submitted any updates up untill now and he won't have the time to do some work for the Dutch translation - which definitally needed. You may want to update the website at <http://mailman.sourceforge.net/i18n.html>. Danny Terweij did not yet respond. I guess he will. The reason to contact these two guys is that I would like to participate in this Dutch language module. But before I start, I would like to know how you want updates to be delivered. Are there any guidelines? Thank you, -- Rejo Zenger <rejo(a)rz.xs4all.nl> - http://rejo.zenger.nl - PGP 0x75FC50F3
