I looked at the Unicode plugin and I believe it most likely will break the integration against our LDAP backend, for example when searching for names containing characters like æøå. (OpenLDAP requires its input as UTF-8.) In addition, this is bad if your code (or templates) contains special unicode characters; which then becomes double-encoded. The Unicode plugin looks like could be useful if you are migrating old data or an old website that didn't use UTF-8 before. It is definitely not the solution for me, as it means more data processing and might introduce new bugs. As I said in my first post, the solution (which works for me) was to turn off the Decode parameter. This makes more sense to me now, since my mo/po-files are already in UTF-8 and don't need to be converted. > > -Brian > > _______________________________________________ > List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk > Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst > Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ > Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/ -- Knut-Olav Hoven Systemutvikler mob: +47 986 71 700 Linpro AS http://www.linpro.no/
