Re: Zem Contact and russian language
You say: “there’s got to be a way…”
a way to do what? :)
ISO-8859-1 is no use to you, because it’s a charset that doesn’t contain cyrillic characters. It’s there for historic reasons, I guess.

Re: Zem Contact and russian language
what about Win-1251

Re: Zem Contact and russian language
Textpattern uses UTF-8 internally. Converting that to ISO-8859-1 is relatively easy, provided you limit yourself to characters in that charset. For Win-1251 it’s not that easy… and you’d have to modify several internal functions to support that charset. UTF-8 is perfect, really, because you can use it for just about any character known on this planet (provided your mailclient supports it… most do, nowadays).

Re: Zem Contact and russian language
yeah, I thought so.
I hope russian guys find this topic and let us know how did they solve this problem.
If I could just use for example – <label=“email”>Cyrillic here</label>… I’d be fine.
Of course, even if my client would get messages in the current way, it wouldn’t be very big problem, because it’s not difficult to understand on which line what information is at.

Re: Zem Contact and russian language
I assume you clients can read Cyrillic and will probably fill out the form using Cyrillic characters as well, so it makes sense to keep the label Cyrillic as well I think. If the label is causing problems because it’s cyrillic, so will the content that the visitors enter in the form.
