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''

All, As some of you know, Jeroen has added support for Unicode strings in the unstable development version of FOX (version 1.5). I''m trying to plan ahead to decide how best to support this for FXRuby 1.6, but I don''t really know anything about Ruby''s support for Unicode or i18n in general.

Hi there from Germany, I just installed and set up ferret and act_as_ferret for rails. All of them at the most recent version. The development environment is running fine with Mac OS X.

I''m trying to get substring 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

I just recently upgraded a rails app of mine to run on edge (and the 1-2-pre-release branch) and I noticed my fcgis required roughly 6-8MBs more memory after just a couple requests. For example, each fcgi on edge would start around 40MB and rise to ~46MBs after a couple requests. I downgraded my app back to 1.1.6 and each fcgi would start at around 33MBs and rise to ~38MB. As a result of the

Hi I''m working on a Rails app for quite some time now. I had some problems with umlauts; I found workarounds but don''t like them really. So I wanted to ask if I''m the only one with these problems. Basically, I''ve set up my app and my database to work with utf-8. This works fine for all data that is processed by ActionController / ActionView. I can enter

Dear R-Help, is it possible to correctly display umlauts in a dataset, which has been created under WINXP, on a Mac-system? This is the problem: I have imported a German MS-Access database into R 2.14.1 by using RODBC on a WINXP-System. It runs with a Latin-1 encoding (codepage 1252). However, most of the work is done with a Mac (UTF-8 encoding) and the R-dataset has been transferred to the MAC.

My samba setup cannot handle files whose names contain german umlauts (????). The server is samba 2.2.8a-1 on Redhat 8.0 (from the binary RPM from the samba site), the client is running WinXP Home Edition. When I create a file whose filename contains umlauts on the samba share from the WinXP machine, the filename is displayed with question marks instead of the umlauts by ls on the linux machine,

Hi @all... Following configuration i used before samba 3: character set = ISO8859-1 codepage = CP850 I could read an write files with umlauts from my Win2k Client. Doing an ls at the linux console showed a ? (question mark) instead the umlaut, but using mc (Midnight Commander) shows the right char. I was quite happy with this setup. Now, with samba 3.0.0final-1 (from Debian/sarge), I tried

Hello, It seems like something has recently caused ? symbols to be displayed as \243 on our FreeBSD 6 server. We think this is causing our rails-based payment system to fail to process transactions which is obviously very bad for us! Why / How would this start happening? The server is configured to use UK ISO keyboard map and it was working fine until recently. I''m at a loss to

Hello, I tried the migration from samba 3 to a sernet-samba-ad-4.1.9-8. My samba 3 has tdbsam backend, and "Full Name" (pdbedit -Lv) contains umlauts.

Hi, I am new to Ruby/Rails but totally fall in love with :D Nonetheless, today I am totally stuck with Ri18n. I basically followed the 10 Steps to Make Your Rails Apps Multilingual.

I am developing an application in German. This means I have umlauts. When I was using rails version 0.13.1 there seemed to be no further configuration needed for umlauts to be shown correctly.

Cheers, I work on a german site that obviously includes german words with umlauts in its data.
