G'day, This is a message for all translators whose language doesn't use the latin1 charset.
Could you guys at the very least create the webwml/<lang>/searchtmpl directory and copy search.wml and Makefile from the webwml/english/searchtmpl directory over? There is a slight quirk with searching that was only pointed out to me by the Russian-speaking udmsearch developers. It's not the search engines fault, rather a side-effect of charsets and web browsers. OK, the Russian guy comes up, types a Russian word in and gets his results, but all his high-bit characters are garbled! The reason is the search engine is returning the correct byte sequence but it is rendered wrong. For example, the search engine spits out 213 which in koi8-r is a "A with two dots on top of it" but in latin1 is "X with squiggle" even though the search engine spits out 213, if the Russian template is not there, it defaults to the English (latin1) template and the browser "incorrectly" renders the character. Save the file to disk, then load it and change the charset it uses and it looks fine. So it is important, even if you have not translated the slices, that you have that template there, if only to tell the browser the right charset. I'm thinking this may be important to note on the search page, but not sure if it may confuse people. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
