I see... And what python function would you use for conversion ? I made some tests and was surprised of the results... I switched ZMI to UTF-8 (management_page_charset) and edited some of my documents / properties and all went fine. The generated documents are still sent to browsers as iso-8859-1, and are not broken.
So my question would be : which valid UTF-8 characters (for typical Western languages like English, French, Spanish, ...) would be invalid in iso-8859-1 ? Last thing, if ZMI is switched to UTF-8, then what is the difference between ustring/string, etc properties ? Thanks.

You must write a script that converts any property on any object in your site that is latin-1 to utf-8. So first find all objects you use. See what types they are. Find all text and string attributes on those opjects. Write a function that converts from latin to utf and run that on every object. The hard part will be finding all the attributes, but perhaps you can write a method that can help find those properties for you using introspection. -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
