hi,
i am trying to build and application that accepts different languages
and characters. There is two yaml files: english and frensh. i first
load the content of the French file as a hash array the dump it back
using the following command
File.open(french.yaml, "w") {|f| YAML.dump(join_hash, f)}
Everything is working fine; however ruby encodes a string with foreign
characters when it converts back to yaml.
e.g
"français".to_yaml => becomes "fran\xC3\xA7ais"
is there any way i can go around this; i have already wasted two days
researching.
Your help well be greatly appreciated
regards
MO

Ruby does not natively support UTF8. I believe that to enable UTF8 support in Rails you need to add this to your environment.rb file: # Set these for unicode support $KCODE = ''u'' require ''jcode'' However, I cannot say whether or not this will help you in your specific instance. In ruby script/console running in a DOS box on my Windows XP your string above renders as "franaceais" -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

This way can help in translating this: puts Iconv.new(''UTF-8'', ''UTF-8'').iconv("fran\xC3\xA7ais").inspect => français However what I am interested in is conv = "français".to_yaml puts Iconv.new(''UTF-8'', ''UTF-8'').iconv(conv).inspect => NOTHING HAPPENS Any suggestions?
