You should first install ChineseCodecs. It is available from http://mm.tkikuchi.net/ChineseCodecs-1.1.0p.tar.gz which is patched to fit in the mailman installation. Find how Japanese and Korean codecs are installed reading Makefile and other and adjust the mailman distibution files.
Should we add this codec package to the Mailman distribution?
Yes. At least it will reduce shunted messages. There is CJKCodecs out but I haven't get much positive view from japanese python community.
It's been a while since you sent this message. Over in the email-sig I think you're now endorsing (or at least not vetoing :) CJKCodecs. So now do think we should drop JapaneseCodecs and KoreanCodecs for CJKCodecs?
Do you think I should change Defaults.py.in?
Yes. - add_language('big5', _('Traditional Chinese'), 'big5') - add_language('gb', _('Simplified Chinese'), 'gb2312') + add_language('zh_CN', _('Chinese (China)'), 'gb2312') + add_language('zh_TW', _('Chinese (Taiwan)'), 'big5')
Okay, cool. I've made these changes and will remove the templates/{big5,gb} and messages/big5 directories (or at least their contents so cvs up -P gets rid of them). Hopefully that will inspire people to contribute zh_CN and zh_TW translations! :) -Barry
