Strange localization problem

Hi,

Just encountered a strange localization problem.

Just installed rt3 on a second Solaris system ( beta production test )
(same perl ( except threading) same apache 1.3.27, same mod_perl,…)

copied and modded httpd.conf from the first system ( only the virtual
host section )
Installed rt3, init database,…

Ok, but in the client browser ( the same ), on the second system the
login page shows up in, I’m guessing Katakana,… Go figure…

Works fine on the first system with the same browser

Any pointers where to check for the localization ?

TIA

The second browser is the beta release of Apple’s Safari, right?
The author of Locale::Maketext, which we’re using for our localization
substrate has identified the problem and will be releasing a fixed
version within the next several days.On Wed, Apr 02, 2003 at 07:43:56PM +0200, Jansen Robert wrote:

Yes, I’m using Apple Safari as the client browser.
Works fine (and still is) when using the first Solaris system with rt3.

Simply genius ! I’m impressed.

Yep, that’s the case. Thanks for the help.

Locale::Maketext 1.04 is being uploaded as we speak and should correct
this problem.

Mhhh,…

This is getting weird.

Just installed Locale::Maketext version 1.04 that Sean Burke send me as a tarball.
and updated Locale::Maketext::Fuzzy and Locale::Maketext::Lexicon from the main CPAN site.
(Just to make shure…)

Safari still display katakana when using the “default” Text Encoding setting in the browser
(which is probably UTF-8, because choosing this Text Enconding yields the same result in the browser)

Any ideas

Thanks to Sean Burke for sending me the tarball. I appreciate.

Any ideas ?

Do you get the same issues when displaying rt3.bestpractical.com?

No. Even stranger,… when I change the Text Encoding in the browser, The rt3.bestpractical.com page REMAINS in english !

With my setup, my page is redrawn trying to render the Text Encoding which I choose.
(BTW: Japanese(MacOS) looks good, other give gibberish)

I can try to update perl modules, maybe an old module from a local European mirror.
I reconfigured my perl CPAN to use the main perl CPAN site only.

How do you update in bulk all the installed module in perl ?
(searched CPAN and perl, but no clear pointers on this matter).

Any pointers appreciated.

TIA

Robert,
I had the same problem - but after installing
Locale::Maketext-1.04, 1.03 was still installed - and included earlier by
Perl! What does:
perl -e ‘use Locale::Maketext; print $Locale::Maketext::VERSION;’
tell you?

perl -V will tell you the layout of your @INC module search path:

@INC:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl

I had to:

cd /usr/local/perl5
find . -name ‘Maketext*’
./5.8.0/Locale/Maketext.pm
./5.8.0/Locale/Maketext.pod
./5.8.0/Locale/Maketext
./site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/auto/Locale/Maketext
./site_perl/5.8.0/Locale/Maketext
./site_perl/5.8.0/Locale/Maketext.pod
./site_perl/5.8.0/Locale/Maketext.pm

and then remove the 5.8.0/Locale/Maketext files (where version 1.03 lived).
This fixed my problem. And then the restart of Apache to ensure it didn’t
have Locale::Maketext cached.

For safari, You have to change the language settings in the
System Preferences/International Preference Pane. Text Encoding does
not change the way the browser asks for languages, only the way
incoming characters are interpreted.
