> Maybe copypage.pl should perform ISO-8859-1 to HTML entities conversion? Sorry, I don't understand the mechanism well, but - *.wml in english directory is for the original writers and translators. It should be in ASCII (not ISO-8859-1) because it is the only international encoding until we move to UTF-8, otherwise east Asian people have some difficulty on editing it (because east Asian multibyte encoding and ISO-8859-1 cannot co-exist). - English *.html is for users who read web pages, and "charset=iso-8859-1" web pages can have ISO-8859-1 characters. Since the English pages only contains ASCII/ISO-8859-1 characters, we don't need to think about co-existance of ISO-8859-1 and multibyte characters. If copypage.pl is used when conversion from *.wml to *.html , it is just opposite to my intension. However, since the "difficulty" is not very large (and we have excellent text editors such as emacs), east Asian translators can manage a small amount of ISO-8859-1 characters in *.wml files. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/
