Hi David,
w/o bothering to check... (don't you hate that?), What I used to have to
do to get the URLs in the address bar and everything else to be able to
work as links in DNS (with a Multi-lingual DNS system I had developed
based on Unicode), was to uncheck "Always send URLs as UTF-8" in IE, and
then reboot the windows box.
Similar settings exist for Mozilla, Opera, etc., and I imagine the same
goes for Konqueror, Galleon, et al...
This would allow one to click on, say, links that actually are in
Hebrew, Kanji, or whatever, and they would pass straight through to DNS
and resolve to an IP (um... From nameservers that were enabled with the
ability to process more than just ASCII).
At the very least, if you do this then you will be able to see the URLs
in whatever language they exist in (There honestly are only a few
thousand websites left with this multi-lingual capability), whether or
not you are able to read the URL, and you won't need any plug-ins or
anything.
We used to distribute the change as a .reg file through an SMS push in
the Enterprise. One of the nicest things about this system is that,
considering the HTTP 2.0 headers with that multi-lingual info and
name-based virtual hosts, Only people who had performed the upgrade on
their workstations and pointed their resolvers to the correct DNS
servers could access those multi-lingual sites :)
Hope that helps...

Hi all,
Recently I posted a message asking about how to make my Linux box show
filenames with Hebrew letters. As Deigo Lastrubni guessed, the ls
command was on a remote MS filesystem mounted with samba. It seems as a
modification of the character set when I mount from an MS remote machine
(I checked by copying the files ON the MS machine which "mounted" my
Linux file system. That time no conversion was made and ls was fine).
However, mount option iocharset=uft8, as suggested by Diego, on the
samba remote file system, as well as any other charset definition didn't
seem to make any difference (kernel 2.4.26-gentoo-r9).
So that is my first question.
My second question is: After eventually I got the file names in Hebrew
correctly set (by the copy mentioned above), still konqueror doesn't
display them correctly. Is there a setting to konqueror or KDE in
general to handle Hebrew?
