Multilingual Website (Euro & Asian languages)

Hi, I'm currently developping a multilingual Seaside website.
I have already implemented several Euro languages, but I need to add
some Asian languages as well.

The trouble is that when I paste some Asian text in Squeak, it shows up
like this: '????' (i.e. a series of question marks).
Both in Squeak and then in the Web browser if I render it on a WAComponent.

Note - I'm using:
- Squeak 3.9
- Seaside 2.6
- the LanguageEditor
- on Windows & Linux.

How can I solve this ?
By the way, is there a 'search' function in the Squeak mailing lists ?

Thanks !
Sebastien.

No, but loading Damien's ImageForDevelopers will smoothly ask and
install all you need.
(Cheers Damien, incredibly useful participation !)

Great, thanks !

Yes, that's what I'm using.
It displays European accented characters fine (which WAKom doesn't), but
I still can't display Asian characters...

I also read Yoshiki's Multilingualized Squeak page, but I still can't
display Chinese or Japanese text in my image or website.

Any suggestions ?
Thanks !

2006/10/13, Sébastien Rocca-Serra <[hidden email]>: Well the problem I have is I don't know how to paste Japanse text
intoSqueak. If I take for example Hiragana from the UTF-8 sampler [1]
I get "javascript encoded uunicode" just see for yourself:

'\u3044\u308d\u306f\u306b\u307b\u3078\u3069\u3000\u3061\u308a\u306c\u308b\u3092
\u308f\u304c\u3088\u305f\u308c\u305e\u3000\u3064\u306d\u306a\u3089\u3080
\u3046\u3090\u306e\u304a\u304f\u3084\u307e\u3000\u3051\u3075\u3053\u3048\u3066
\u3042\u3055\u304d\u3086\u3081\u307f\u3058\u3000\u3091\u3072\u3082\u305b\u305a'

You probably have to go to squeak-dev with this problem.

But once I converted it to a Squeak WideString everything did as it
should (only in the inspector the WideString shows up as '????????').

renderUnicodeOn: html
        | encoded codePoints unicode |
        encoded := '\u3044\u308d\u306f\u306b\u307b\u3078\u3069\u3000\u3061\u308a\u306c\u308b\u3092
\u308f\u304c\u3088\u305f\u308c\u305e\u3000\u3064\u306d\u306a\u3089\u3080
\u3046\u3090\u306e\u304a\u304f\u3084\u307e\u3000\u3051\u3075\u3053\u3048\u3066
\u3042\u3055\u304d\u3086\u3081\u307f\u3058\u3000\u3091\u3072\u3082\u305b\u305a'.
       
        codePoints := (encoded findTokens: '\u') collect: [ :each |
                Integer readFrom: each asUppercase readStream base: 16 ].
               
        unicode := WideString streamContents: [ :stream |
                codePoints do: [ :each |
                        stream nextPut: (Character value: each) ] ].
       
        html text: unicode

I would be great to have non-Latin 1 tests in Seaside the problem is
just that this is highly platform specific.

To display Japanese or Korean text string in Squeak Environment, you
need to import fonts for these languages and set up properly. To display
 on web browser, as far as I know(I'm using 3.8), WAKomEncoded does work.

Hope this can help you.

To display japanese characters i use the squeak image 3.9 RC1 and with the developer image loaded from squeak map.
Then just execute WAKomEncoded39 startOn: portNumber

Then my browser automatically use UTF-8 chraracters to display the text. (Firefox 1.5 on MacOSX Tiger).

Same problem for me. I partially solved the problem by editing a
translation file in Vim and then loading it into LanguageEditor.
The website displays fine in any language now.

Thanks, I will look for a proper font if I need to (my problem is solved
for the moment !).

Cheers.
Sebastien.
