TO everyone who is making use of unicode_hacks! I have made irreversible changes to the plugin so that the routings are no longer overloaded. To call the character-bound routines, you need to use the "chars" or "u" accessors, as outlined in the docs http://julik.nl/code/unicode-hacks/index.html and in this blog post by...

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_filt...

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

...item=Pur%E9ed" as a parameter in my url, when it''s decoded by rails, it returns "Pur?ed" and not "Pur?ed". Is there an easy way to fix my controller to accept these characters properly? Or is there perhaps a plugin someone wrote that is less extreme then unicode_hacks?

Hi folks, Does anyone know how to tackle Swedish letters in Rails. Am I completely off track in thinking that it should be done using map or regex in some clever way? Bealach

...bstring from a utf-8 encoded string. (say, first 50 characters of the string) String#[0..49] would give me the first 50 bytes not 50 characters.. I know there is jcode library, but it only let you count number of characters in utf-8 string. unicode gem doesn''t seem to help much. unicode_hacks gem seem to solve the problem, but it also seems to change the methods of String class directly so that it may confuse rails which expects String#[] to give back bytes not characters. Can somebody point out what should be the route I should take? Should I implement substring methods mysel...

Hello! First, thank you Julian for the useful plugin ''unicode_hacks'' < http://julik.textdriven.com/svn/tools/rails_plugins/unicode_hacks/>. I have found some problems running my app in development on Webrick and looking at it with Safari (MacOS X 10.4.3, Safari 2.0.2). Some files are sent with different sizes (e.g. default css example, or c...

Hi, Using aaf to search pages, I wanted to present excerpts from the texts even when more than one term was used in the search. I came to some results, despite the difficulty caused by Unicode+ruby. The last problem I''m faced is to get the query words, without the logical articulation chars if any. Is there a clean way to get them ? -- Jean-Christophe Michel

Hi all, Just wondering... Are there any plans to include i18n support in Rails anytime soon? I guess this is about the only feature I''m realy missing in Rails. Any thoughts?

Well, I see that my last email hasn''t generated any reaction from the Rails core team. It looks like all of them are the happy users of "plain text" (which, as we know by now, doesn''t exist, but still). I apologize in advance for the sore bitterness of this message but I see that the Rails-core STILL, despite all of the efforts, sees these issues as something
