Trouble with UTF code on 1.2.5
« on: February 10, 2004, 07:17:43 PM »
Here is a pic of CVS as of Feb 8th (Working fine)



and here the same pic in aMule-1.2.5



Seems there was a bad transfer in UTF-8 code. all accentuated "éèàùô..." letters are messed.


I gave a first look at the fr.po file, and it seems OK in Kbabel.

That's exactly what I have too!
It's a pity!
If I find the solution, i'll give it here, but I hope you could do it too! ;)

Problem is on code itself I'm afraid.


Maybe we should release a bugfix version very soon.

I agree, the fr.po file is ok. Do people have such trouble in let's say spanish or other accentuated locales ?

I have the same problem. (using the french version too).

Some explanations (for sure, devs know this problem) :

In UTF encoding you can get lots of differents languishes (diffrents charsets). To accomplish this some chars are represented by more than one byte. This is the case for all accents upon letters. To find the right char the first byte can be used to change the number of byte to be used to encode one char (the upper A with tilde on it is this byte).

The problem seems to be like this : the gui take one byte for one char wich doesn't work for UTF (but works for ISO encoding). As UTF is backward compatible with ASCII all english chars are encoded in only one byte. For this reason english is correct on display (and alla chars you can find in english alphabet).

My 2 cents...
