------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-20-09 04:04 ------- Additional info: Installing from the cooker mirror (19 Sept 2003) purely in Simplified Chinese, things are working well with zh_CN. However, when I using a Simplified Chinese install, adding support for other languages (American English, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese), the default system locale was then zh_CN.UTF-8, similar to an English install. I did NOT choose "Use Unicode by default". -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: 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.
