Hi folks, Just a quick note to let you know that I moved these four lists to Mailman 2.1b4+. Things seem to be working okay, but of course, now the fun begins. I'll be watching the logs, but please do let me know if you notice anything strange. -Barry P.S. to mailman-users-owner... Hope you like the new moderation interface!

Barry, this being the i18n list and all, shouldn't more languages than US English be enabled here? ;) Heck, I think users should be able to have any language they want on any of the Mailman lists.. Ben

It'll be interesting to see what python.org lets through. :) -Barry

Yeah, that reminds me... on the create new list page and the admin page where languages are chosen, it should be possible to select 'em all in one click! :D And they should really also be sorted alphabetically... :)

OK! I went to the user options page and went through a number of languages to see what interfaces I got. To be extra mean to the page, I entered my real name with Japanese characters (from the US English page!) and the Unicode character references came through perfectly. Good job with that! Two issues: I selected Simplified Chinese as my interface at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-i18n/che@debian.org and got: Bug in Mailman version 2.1b4+ We're sorry, we hit a bug! If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what happened. Thanks! Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1/scripts/driver", line 87, in run_main main() File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1/Mailman/Cgi/options.py", line 594, in main options_page(mlist, doc, user, cpuser, userlang, msg) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1/Mailman/Cgi/options.py", line 616, in options_page fullname = Utils.uncanonstr(mlist.getMemberName(user), userlang) File "/usr/local/mailman-2.1/Mailman/Utils.py", line 768, in uncanonstr return s.encode(charset) LookupError: unknown encoding [snip] I wonder if I didn't confuse it with my Unicode real name.. want to give it a look, Barry? Other than that, looks pretty good. I think the Korean translation is a bit out of date (English peeks through here and there) but the Japanese one looks great! Ben

Nope, the problem is that Python doesn't come with Chinese support out of the box so if you haven't installed the Chinese codecs, you shouldn't be allowed to choose that your list supports that language. I believe I have code in the Language category that tightens this up (although it won't de-select Simplified Chinese for you by default). If the list admin doesn't enable a language, then users can't choose it either. BG> Other than that, looks pretty good.
