Diego, thanks for your explanation. Here is what I have: locale LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" LC_COLLATE="en_US" LC_MONETARY="en_US" LC_MESSAGES="en_US" LC_PAPER="en_US" LC_NAME="en_US" LC_ADDRESS="en_US" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US" LC_ALL=en_US
In my case, I use kopete. The other side is using windows with the web client goicq.com. > Choose cp-1255, as it has a larger range of Hebrew support, if it's > possible. > > Now, I have talked with the Kopete developers a few years ago and they > explained to me why ICQ gives us so much troubles.
