Question about the utf-8 tag
Hello list, I'm in the process of starting to do the translation for Mailman into Hindi (hi_IN.UTF-8). I had a few questions first, please redirect me if this is not the correct place to ask. 1. Is there a priority in which the translations should be done? 2. What percentage or translations costitute a go ahead for inclusion of a locale in a future release? 3. Is it possible to just translate the public html pages first, and have only those included first? 4. The Mailman list I own, has the archives at http://lists.sarovar.org/pipermail/devanaagarii-lipi/ - the pages there have the utf-8 tag, however the pages do not get displayed in utf-8 the first time. That's not true for the other pages on the same server, only for the Mailman pages. Other sites that have the utf-8 tag (eg http://devanaagarii.net) also display utf-8 in the first shot. Why is this behavior so? Is there any other setting involved?

I also noticed http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-i18n/2005-May/001218.html - the last message - the tag for encoding is us-ascii, but the unicode characters get displayed properly because &#<number> format is being used in the html. Well that's one way of doing it but not one that I would prefer, since view-> source becomes human - unreadable.

First of all, the character set designation in the language code is not supported in Mailman. It is specified in Mailman/Defaults.py and can be added in mm_cfg.py. Please read the comments in Defaults.py.in.

No consensus is done up to now, I believe.
3. Is it possible to just translate the public html pages first, and have only those included first?
I think it's OK if the users of your language are OK.

This is configured in httpd.conf (if your server is Apache). See the install document specifically: http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node10.html
