Hi!

There are at least two Cyrillic encodings: koi8-r (Unix) and win-1251 (Windows).

Historically preconceived that we use koi8 in mail and Usenet and win for web.

In this case there are some problems: first, "msg" file in thm/default/i18n/russian is in koi8-r. I must recode it to win manually after every upgrade. Problem can be solved by making two translations in i18n: russian-koi (for some Unix fans Wink) and russian-win. You can recode texts using "convert_cyr_string($var,'k','w')" php function.

Second problem is with Newsgroup Manager. By leaving "as is" nntp.php just doesn't work with messages with Cyrillic spells. The problem is in "apply_custom_replace($text)" in include/theme/default/replace.inc file. nntp.php just returns an error. I don't remember what exactly it says, but after next upgrade I'll send you an error message.

Using barbarian method "delete anything than doesn't work" I have changed apply_custom_replace($text) to:

function apply_custom_replace($text)
{
	if ( !($arr = make_replace_array()) ) return convert_cyr_string($text,'k','w');
	return convert_cyr_string($text,'k','w');
}


I just don't know, what this function does, but everything works with this terrible interference. Now there is no error message in replace.inc and I can read all messages in win in my forum.

Again and again thank you for the best forum I ever saw.

P.S.: sorry for bad English.

this is wrong. koi8-r still standard russian encoding for web pages.
there is no any any rfc or similar standard which declare windows-1251 as russian web encoding. all modern browsers works with koi8 perfectly.

massive usage of convert_cyr_string() will slowdown fudforum. but you can use localized http server with transparent recoding function. russian apache from apache.lexa.ru is good example.

Don't want it - don't do it. It was just a suggestion, nothing more. But can koi8-r be a standart if most of web pages in russian are in windows-1251?

Most popular servers are in windows-1251:
www.rambler.ru (search and rating)
www.yandex.ru (search)
www.mail.ru (free mail)
www.google.ru (Google-Russia)
www.lenta.ru (newsline)

Are you still talk about standarts?

don't be a fool. Smile
this servers except mail.ru running russian apache under unixes, where koi8 is default. you can verify this by checking servers responces with any http tool like wget. and when apache detects windoze clients surfing with msie etc. it transparently recode pages to windoze codepage.

Ideal solution would be to make another russian translation that would be based on windows-1251 encoding and then a user can choose what to use KOI8-R or windows-1251. Doing convert_cyr_string() in realtime will not only be slow but is simply impossible to do due to the nature of FUDforum's templating system.

When I talked about windows-1251, I mean exactly about another translation. Sorry, if I wasn't clear.

i'm not sure about locale for russian-1251 translation. it should be 'ru_RU.CP1251' for forum running on unix server. and just 'ru' for win32 platform. and i think there will be no aspell support in 1251 translation.

which php locale server should use for 1251 codepage? and is there pspell/aspell support for 1251? do you plan to use forum software on win32 or unix platform (where is http server installed, i mean)?

There is no pspell support for 1251 and it is not likely to be added. I did recieve the 1251 version of the russian translation and the next release will include both cp1251 and KOI8-R
