Re: [Nuxeo-localizer] Charater Set Conversion

[Juan David Ibáñez Palomar]

Hi Calvin,

Do you mean you upgraded to the last CVS version ?

Well, you'll have to write an script, it would be something like:

 mc = ...
 for msg in mc._messages.keys():
     for lang in msg.keys():
         # From iso-8859-1 string to unicode string
         unicode_str = unicode(msg[lang], 'iso-8859-1')
         # From unicode string to utf8 string
         utf8_str = unicode_str.encode('utf8')
         # Store the unicode or the utf8 string, as you prefer
         msg[lang] = ...


From unrestricted code (external method).

If you've upgraded to the last CVS version, you will probably need to
use either Zope 2.6 (last version is alpha 1) or to apply the unicode
patches from Toby Dickenson (http://www.zope.org/Members/htrd/wstring).
If this is the case, it's better to store the translations as unicode
strings than normal strings encoded in utf8.


Regards,
david
