Hi there, I am using Zope successfully with Chinese (Traditional) on Windows. For forward compatibility, I am storing it as UTF-8, which is one storage format for Unicode/ISO 10646 (aka as UCS). It used to work nice until Zope 2.2, where some of the display got mangled. I submitted a patch to the Collector to fix this problem some weeks ago, so hopefully this will go away in the future. Anothere thing is being able to use ZCatalog: I privately patched the splitter program, which is used to split strings into words. I am not yet satisfied with the solution, that's why I did not go public with it. It's also only tested on my windows box. All the best, Christian

i was wondering how i can use chinese characters with Zpe on Linux. does anyone know how? According to my "mild" research so far, i
found out that
Big5is a 2-byte code and is a part of ISO-10646/Unicode. It also seems to be the de-facto for traditional chinese characters. There're also Unicode CJK and GB. But GB is for China, which uses simplified chinese characters. And CJK includes both Big5 and GB.
classic zope is built on python 1.52 and does not naturally support unicode. But there is a light on the horizont:

I have a vision of everything working together for localizing and internationalisation ;-)
