Hi,
I'm using dictionaries from basic code and noticed a problem. When the
search word from a dictionary entry is inserted into a writer doc the
encoding is not shown correctly.
Try this in a german localized version:
sub encError
dls = createUnoService("com.sun.star.linguistic2.DictionaryList")
dic = dls.getDictionaryByName("soffice.dic")
entries = dic.getEntries()
msgbox entries(16).getDictionaryWord()
end sub
In a german language version of OO.o 1.1.x this should read
"Bemaßungslinien" but the char "ß" is not converted correctly. This
holds true for the german OO.o2.0-RC1/Windows, too.
Is this worth filing an issue or is it a pilots error?
It sure sounds like an error (so please file an issue):
XDictionaryEntry.getDictionaryWord returns a UNO string, which is
Unicode, so no excuse to garble an "ß" (and Basic's msgbox command
should also be fully Unicode...).
Thank for replying.
I only thought I was missing some conversion function or the like
because all umlauts are garbled too. They are shown as two chars in a
writer doc. And from the GUI anything works as expected ...
You mean, adding text to a writer doc via some Basic code (where the
text to be added is represented as a literal Basic string) leads to
garbled characters? That's strange. Maybe Andreas Bregas knows whether
there is some part of Basic or the Basic IDE that works with
locale-dependent text encodings instead of Unicode?
Yes, that's what I wanted to say.
Another Test fpor the german localized OO.o:
sub encError2
BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("Tools")
dls = createUnoService("com.sun.star.linguistic2.DictionaryList")
dic = dls.getDictionaryByName("soffice.dic")
entries = dic.getEntries()
tmpDoc = CreateNewDocument("swriter")
csr = tmpDoc.Text.createTextCursor()
tmpDoc.Text.string = entries(16).getDictionaryWord() ' "ß"
tEnd = tmpDoc.Text.getEnd()
tEnd.String = entries(46).getDictionaryWord() ' "ö"
end sub
This does garble the special chars, too.
Regards,
Marc
Two things I noticed when trying to reproduce this:
1 You must be using a non-UTF-8 locale (probably 8859-1), check the
environment variable LANG. If you set LANG to something like
"de_DE.UTF-8" the problem should go away.
2 If you modify the Basic script by adding
tEnd = tmpDoc.Text.getEnd()
tEnd.String = "äöü"
end sub
to the end, you see that Basic is not the culprit, as the umlauts show
up correctly in the writer doc, regardless of LANG setting.
I suspect that the OOo dictionary implementation erroneously uses
osl_getThreadTextEncoding() (which depends on LANG) to translate the
(obviously UTF-8 encoded) strings within the dictionary data base to
Unicode. Please update the issue (did you already write one?) accordingly.
