Hi all,
I am pretty new to django, and am trying fix some code I inherited, so
far I have much success and have
been impressed with Django.
I do have one problem I hope someone here can help me with. I have
some messages in the database in several languages. When I read the
English text, no problem. When I read the german text, it comes out
with the umlauts (üöä) garbled.
The model looks like this:
class StandardMessage(meta.Model):
message_id = meta.PositiveIntegerField()
text = meta.CharField(maxlength=80)
type = meta.CharField(maxlength="1", choices=(PS_Choices),
default='Y')
lang = meta.CharField(maxlength="5", blank=False)
def get_translate_message(self, _lang):
from django.models.dating import standartmessages
try: sm =
standartmessages.get_object(message_id__exact=self.message_id,
lang__exact=_lang)
except Exception, e: print e;sm=None
if not sm:
sm1 = StandartMessage(type = self.type, lang=_lang,
message_id=self.message_id)
sm1.save()
return sm1
return sm
And it's used like this:
.....
defmesList = standartmessages.get_list(type__exact=mtype,
lang__exact=_lang)
result += '</option>' + '\n'
for elem in defmesList:
result += '<option value=\"'
result += str(elem.message_id) +'\">'
result += elem.get_translate_message(_lang).text
#result += "äöü" # This is a test, and these
charachters are displayd correctly !
result += '</option>' + '\n'
pass
result +='</select>' + '\n'
If I add umlauts in the handling routine (the second piece of code),
they are displayed on the output page correctly, so it looks like the
problem is occurring earlier....
I have tried putting # -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*- at the start of the
modules concerned but no success.
I would be most grateful for any help with this..
Roger
