------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 21 14:22:26 +0000 2007 ------- On my machine this bug is way more dangerous than you describe: when I try to open some document with a Korean filename by double clickin in Windows Explorer, it isn't just Open Office who crashes, WINDOWS ITSELF does the same; it freezes and I can't even summon Task Manager or shut Windows down. For two times I could only retrieve the battery from my laptop in order to get it back to work. I'm too frightened to make any further experiment. My system information: Windows XP SP2 Media Center Edition 2005 English Default system and user language both set to Catalan Language for non-Unicode programs set to Catalan Open Office 2.0.3 Catalan I don't want to switch the non-Unicode language to Korean because then all programs get downloaded and installed in Korean, be they written in Unicode or not. I don't want to use programs in Korean (my Korean is not that good), I just happen to need handling DOCUMENTS in Korean. This is very depressing because I have the same problem on Firefox 2.0.1 and Thunderbird 1.5.0.7. (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235385). My friends' Korean documents lose their names and become underscores, and I can't e-mail them my own Korean documents. Since these people don't know English, changing the name is not always an acceptable option. Since I haven't lost faith on open source software, my workaround will be speeding up my migration to Linux. However, after this experience an average Asian would just give up thinking that all these programs are but a hobby for Western geeks, especially given that even Notepad can handle foreign characters in my configuration. No wonder now that Windows/IE hold a 99.8% market share in Korea! My own impression is that English is way too pervasive in the open source community, as if everybody was only using their mother tongue for themselves and English for international communication. The needs of multilingual people like me aren hardly considered. And in spite of national localizations, when you're out in the Internet looking for help, help is available only in English. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
