Ok, quick summary: 1) PayPal sends us a payment record with 'first_name' and 'last_name' fields. 2) We insert that record into our CiviCRM database. 3) CiviCRM combines the first name and last name into a "display name"... per standard Western ordering assumptions. 4) The display name is copied into our public reporting database and shown on the web. It looks like we can't do much about the name split in 1); that's just what we get out of the payment processor. We may be able to fudge things at step 3) by detecting Han characters and producing a properly-sorted display name, at least for that case. Of course this will still be wrong for Hungarians, and Romanized Japanese names may often get written either way... - -- brion -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkk21moACgkQwRnhpk1wk47rgACg31a0iArCTSyHfQ/Sutv4zorh wjYAni4MbNRDwgtQderCNvGjnQziGGM5 =0p5I -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
