Package: mantis
Version: 0.19.2-3
Severity: normal
I'm using Traditional Chinese version of mantis, and I've set
$g_default_language = 'chinese_traditional';
$g_fallback_language = 'english';
in my /etc/mantis/config.php file.
I converted the character code of the language file
(gui/lang/strings_chinese_traditional.txt) to UTF-8. I also set the variable
$s_charset to 'UTF-8'.
Mantis works perfectly, except the character code used to send e-mail. Since
the default character code mantis sent is English, the character code sets is
"windows-1252", according to gui/lang/strings_english.txt. So any e-mail
clients will treat the UTF8 strings in the mail as "windows-1252", results in
many question marks. Changing the $s_charset to 'UTF-8' in strings_english.txt
solves the problem.
I recommend to encode every language file in UTF-8. Or at least provide an
UTF-8 encoded language file for each language, provided as
"strings_<languagename>_utf8.txt". The Japanese language files are good
examples.
