Product: drakxtools
Component: i18n
Summary: localedrake chooses zh_CN.UTF-8 for Chinese instead of
zh_CN
Product: drakxtools
Version: 9.2-10mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: i18n
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When installing in English with added support for Simplified Chinese, then
changing the user's language with localedrake, the locale chosen is zh_CN.UTF-8
However, if the installation is purely Chinese, the locale is zh_CN which then
defaults to a GB variant codepage.
Although things seem to work with UTF-8 encoding (except when using a GB rxvt
terminal), it is not currently an appropriate encoding for Chinese as most
people using Chinese use either GB or Big-5 encoding. And especially since the
default Simplified Chinese installation of Mandrake uses GB encoding,
localedrake should only use zh_CN (not zh_CN.UTF-8) when changing from
en_US.UTF-8 to Simplified Chinese. I assume the same problem would exist for
Big-5 encoding.
