Joaquín, Sorry for my curt reply... I'm catching up on e-mails post-holiday and wanted to get you an answer quickly. I believe UTF-8 is more future-proof based on greater/increasing adoption and its ability to handle more languages. By limiting itself to Latin languages, ISO 8859-1 text is smaller, but in turn limits localization to Latin languages.
Go with UTF-8... everybody's doing it. :-) -Burke On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 10:52 PM, Burke Mamlin <[email protected]>wrote: > UTF-8 > > On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 6:01 PM, Joaquín Blaya < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Hey guys, >> I know we've had this discussion before, but we're making changes to the >> reporting compatibility module to translate it completely in spanish, and >> we're back to the problem of deciding whether to code in UTF-8 or >> ISO8859-1, which should we use? >> >> Joaquín >> ___________________________________________________________________ >> Gerente de Desarrollo, eHealth Systems <http://www.ehs.cl/> >> Research Fellow, Escuela de Medicina de Harvard <http://hms.harvard.edu/> >> Moderador, GHDOnline.org <http://www.ghdonline.org/> >> > _________________________________________ To unsubscribe from OpenMRS Developers' mailing list, send an e-mail to [email protected] with "SIGNOFF openmrs-devel-l" in the body (not the subject) of your e-mail.
