[Zope] utf-8 problem in Zope when using Localizer

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

If you can, I would strongly recommend using the Zope3/Five way of doing
translations and i18n in general!

See here:

http://worldcookery.com/files/fivei18n/

http://codespeak.net/z3/five/i18n.html

I've made my site fully internationalized, localized and utf-8 using
this method without resorting to any "trickery".

setdefaultencoding() is apparently frowned upon ... Not sure why though.

Good luck!
J.F.

Hi,

I think I solved the problem.

<dtml-var "MessageCatalog('Hallo Welt!').encode('utf-8')">

works. I read some further and found out that I should use something
like

import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

I set it global in sitecustomize.py under
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages and then 


<dtml-var "MessageCatalog('Hallo Welt!')">

works. Now I only must find the right place for setdefaultencoding() so
it only affect my zope-instance.

Regars
Patrick
