| This site is indeed lame in its handling of non-ISO-8859-15 text. I went through some pain figuring out how to get the non-ASCII Esperanto letters entered, for instance (which was sometimes working for me and sometimes resulting in bogus display of their html entity equivalents). There was a
thread a few weeks ago about it. When entering comments, you can actually enter arbitrary Unicode characters with your foreign language keyboard driver, but they will get garbled into double-escaped-ampersand-entities unless you also actually use some html element (p, br, whatever), which then magically triggers the input system to behave differently and only single-ampersand-escape them so they display your non-ASCII characters correctly (by using html entities). Too bad the system doesn't just use charset="UTF-8" indeed.
I never tried entering Chinese etc. I'll try now and see if it works (copy-pasting translations of the word "translations" from babelfish). Note that this comment contains html elements (p, br), otherwise I know it won't work.
Japanese: 翻訳
Chinese: 翻译
Korean: 번역
Based on my preview of the comment, it looks like success. |
