Trouble with Umlauts
...med to be no further configuration needed for umlauts to be shown correctly. Now I have upgraded to 0.14.2 and the umlauts are being displayed at ''?''s. I changed the encoding of the page and it is UTF-8. I have also tried the steps listed at http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToUseUnicodeStrings, but that did not help. Has anyone else seen this problem? Do you have a definitive way to fix it?

Converting from UTF8 to ISO-8859-1 encoding
Please help, I have followed the rails wiki to convert my rails application to use UTF-8: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToUseUnicodeStrings I am able to succesfully cut and paste Unicode characters from other page, successfully store and display unicode characters. However, my client actually wants ISO-8859-1 encoding, which I''m coming to realize is somehow different then UTF8. Having UTF8 allows me to use alot...

Problem saving data in different languages
Hi, I currently have a site that lets people enter info and submit it to the database. But the problem is the it lets people enter data in their language (portuguese and spanish) and all the special characters for those languages get replaced by symbols. Any idea how would I fix that? Thanks a lot. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

searching
I''ve been searching for a way to implement a search feature across articles posted in a table. All the google results I get refer to "live" search and I''m not interested an automcomplete function, but because of the prevalence of tutorials on the subject, I can''t seem to find what I want.

Unicode HOWTO?
I am disappointed about the (seeming) lack of Unicode support in Rails. Is there a howto about working the most important limitations? For example, figuring out the length of an entered word: "???".length() will return 6, not 3. So if there is a maximum number of characters a user is allowed to enter, this won''t work as it should -- it treats strings as byte arrays instead

Using unicode_hacks breaks Rails 1.1 RJS
All, I wasted an hour on this, so here''s a quick post to save you from the same. If you are using "unicode_hacks":http://julik.textdriven.com/svn/tools/rails_plugins/unicode_hacks/ for "multi-lingual support":[http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToUseUnicodeStrings/versions/40] (i18n), there''s a gotcha - RJS templates will not work. The culprit is line #4 in lib\actionpack_filters.rb, which sets the character set in the HTTP header to UTF so that old browsers can render the properly. It also sets the content-type to text/html. For RJS, the conte...

Validating Umlauts
Hi there, I''m building a rails application for German and English speakers. However, I''m having some problems validating German-specific characters (????). I have a tag-model which validates format of :name, :with => /^\w+$/. This throws an exception if german characters are used. My tables are all utf-8 and my environment.rb has the lines $KCODE = ''u''

UTF-8 and validates_length_of
Hello, according to http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToUseUnicodeStrings Rails is not ready for UTF-8 in many places, e.g. the validates_length_of method. However, I see UTF-8 used in many Rails applications. So, hopefully, is the wiki page now out-of-date? Cheers, Nils -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

International characters
I am new to Ruby on Rails. I have read a lot, and bought several books, and now I have started to implement a modified "shopping cart", following the AWDWR-book, with modifications to suit our application (subscriptions and memberships). Having done up to chapter 7 I have had no real problems, except one: Since our customers are Swedish I need the screen names, texts etc to be in

Does Rails provide solid support for UTF-8?
I need to use UTF-8 in my app and was wondering if Rails would support it properly. Some sites seem to be saying that it has weak internationalization support. Is this true? If so, where is the problem? What should I look out for? Are there tweaks, plugins or gems that fix the problem? TIA. David -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Character Encoding
Hi, I''m sure I''m doing something dumb, but... I have an application that dynamically produces UTF8 encoded html exclusively. This application works using webrick without a problem. When using Mongrel 3.12.4 it looks as though the encoding is lost and garbage appears on the string. I suppose this could also be a double encoding, but personally, I can''t tell the
