Hi, I'd like to create a mailman based mailing list, and I need it to support English and Hebrew. At the moment, any Hebrew I write comed out as gybberish Latin letters. Is there a contibution that adds Hebrew to this system? if not, how can I create one? Is there a contribution guide somewhere online? if not, what file(s)/DB do I need to edit in order to modify an existing language into Hebrew? I'd speculate (without ever seeing the inner workings of the system) that the language list is held in a databese, with the language name and default charset. Can anyone give me any more directions as to how I can access this DB and make the needed modifications? Thanks, -Ethan Shalev, Greenpeace Mediterranean

My mailing lists work fine for both Traditional Chinese and English. I don't know if Hebrew is supported, but you may want to take a look at the file Defaults.py for lines like add_language('es', _('Spanish (Spain)'), 'iso-8859-1') add_language('et', _('Estonian'), 'iso-8859-15') and add one line for Hebrew. The first argument is the language code, the second the language name, and the third the encoding name. Good luck, Ping Ethan Shalev wrote:

Hi, Hebrew in not currently supported. In addition to the Defaults.py entry (you should edit mm_cfg.py) you should also consult README-I18N.en document in the source distribution and http://www.list.org/i18n.html Mailman internationalization page. Cheers, Ping Yeh wrote:
