Hi Itai!

This is Brian Hooper at Digital Garage. I worked on SonicNet Japan with Jay.

...

I'm about to start work on some Japanese sites. Can you tell me if you ran into any problems mixing Zope and Japanese?

Not really - there are a few small issues with character encoding.

You should use EUC for everything, if possible; Python doesn't work properly with Shift-JIS without patching and rebuilding Python (these patches are not official, I think someone contributed patches to make Python safe with SJIS).

I think depending on your machine and OS environment you may have to add a timezone mapping or two to DateTime.py, also. And in order to send out 7-bit JIS mail using MailHost, that has to be patched as well. If you're interested, maybe we could share patches :-) .

Thanks, Brian. I don't have any need for mailhost at the moment... if I'm lucky there would be a patch ready when I do need it :) -- Itai Tavor -- "Je sautille, donc je suis." -- itavor@vic.bigpond.net.au -- - Kermit the Frog -- -- 'Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?' -- -- 'Supposing it didn't,' said Pooh after careful thought. --
