You are right I may skipped this point because I didn't see MySQL is a
link and I missed the charset info. Perhaps you should add a little warning
in the optional software table in the main installation page near the MySQL
link.
Fabien, at the moment you are the expert :) Would you mind updating the
wiki if it can save someone else from your issue. Just pasting your
instructions would help someone who needs to recode the DB.

Hello all,
I find the problem, my MySQL DB was in lantin1 (ISO 8859) and it seems to
be
a problem for Pootle, I don't understand why because all my text files are
in UTF-8.
So here is a solution :
- Backup your DB : mysqldump pootle -upootle -p
--default-character-set=latin1 --skip-set-charset --flush-logs
--lock-all-tables dump_pootle.sql
- change encoding of your dump file : sed -r 's/latin1/utf8/g'
dump_pootle.sql dump_pootle_utf.sql
- reencoding your dump : recode latin1..utf8 dump_pootle_utf.sql
- Delete your iso DB and create a UTF-8 DB : mysql -upootle -p
--execute=DROP DATABASE pootle; CREATE DATABASE pootle CHARACTER SET utf8
COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
- Import your UTF-8 dump in your new pootle DB : mysql -upootle -p
--default-character-set=utf8 pootle dump_pootle_utf.sql
After that, my pootle works correctly (I just lost €) and I can insert
greek.
I hope that could be usefull if anyone encounter this issue. I think that
Pootle doc should include a warning about this point because latin1 is
default charset for MySQL.
Did you initially follow the instructions found at
http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/mysql ?
Should these instructions be updated with explicit reference to collation
as well?

Bye

My PO files are in UTF-8 so I have to find another way to explore.
Also check whether the webserver enforces an encoding other than UTF-8.
You can verify with 'wget -S http://myurletc.com'.
Typically when you mention 'Greek encoding' or any other encoding such
as
Cyrillic, etc,
you talk about the legacy 8-bit encodings such as iso-8859-7 (Greek).
These are not used anymore, and for whichever language you want, you
would
just set it to UTF-8.
So, if you asked your web administrator for 'Greek Encoding', they may
simply enforced iso-8859-7,
which could be the cause of your problems.

Hi Chris, thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately I don't think it's a font problem. Indeed I can see
greek
letters in my computer (I see your pootle without problem) and I try
to
insert greek text in pootle (got with google traduction). I see that
the
http post request contains the greek text but the http response
contains
. I think it's a bad config of Pootle or perhaps Django. Did
you
do
anything about encoding stuff when you installed pootle ?
I didn't do the install, so I can't say. The other thought that
occurs
to
me is to check the POT to see what it's encoding is (e.g. UTF-8 or
what). I
may not be able to help you as much as the other people on this list,
but I
thought I'd try to rule out some of the simpler error types.
