SID-00750: How can I make a topic in other languages?

<Symptom>

Thanks to Korean language support, I could display my twiki with Korean.

But I couldn't create a topic name in Korean.

However, contents with Korean displayed well.

<What I've tried> I've changed the configure:charset(to utf-8) but it didn't worked

I've changed javascript code in 'WebTopicCreator' topic to get rid of function that disable 'Create This Topic button' as I type non WikiWord. (when I checked 'allow non WikiWord', I could create a topic like 'twiki' which is non wiki word, but it didn't work for Korean title.) From above work, I succeed in moving on to the next stage, editting page(with Korean title) However, when I clicked the 'save button', it changed the WebHome topic. (I think this is because the default value of the topic title is WebHome).

<What is the Reason?> Perl CGI Script? Charset Configuration? Twiki Version?

Maybe URL with Unicode? (I haven't tried this)

Thank you for reading.

Discussion and Answer

At this time TWiki does not fully support page names, topic names and attachment names with non-ASCII characters. Current state is documented at AppendixEncodeURLsWithUTF8.

Full UTF-8 support is required to support Chinese/Koeran/Japanese properly. See UseUTF8.

If you are a programmer I invite you to get involved. As a contributor you can actively make a difference and help shape the product. A good way to get engaged is to participate in the biweekly release meetings. The next one is Monday 2010-02-15, HelsinkiReleaseMeeting2010x02x15. To get started on specific areas please visit:
