[GRASS-dev] Fwd: Re: [Qgis-developer] again on encoding problems

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all.
I assume grass-dev are aware of the problem. Has this been solved in
wxPy GUI? How? Looks as a serious issue, as it is keeping lots of people
away from grass in qgis at least.
If you have a solution, we'll be happy of implementing in qgis, workload
permitting.
Thanks.

Thanks maris.
Are grass dev aware of the problem? Could we then display grass in
English when on windows, for these languages?
It seems important.
All the best.

    Hello Paolo,
    I haven't seen how QGIS GRASS plug in is built, still my 0.02 from
    GRASS side. Some time a go I investigated encoding problems in native
    GRASS on Windows (WinGRASS) and my conclusion was - it is not possible
    to fix it for GRASS 6 due to character encoding handling in Windows.
    Reason was simple - there's no single coding to cover all use cases in
    Windows (CLI has one system (OEM), GUI has it's legacy system (ANSI)
    and add to all also Unicode in more recent code). As GRASS strings
    might come in all three encodings, unless the source of string is
    known, it's impossible to convert/display string correctly.

    Somebody with greater QGIS part can correct me, if I'm wrong (as I
    would like to be :) ).

    Maris.

        Hi all. Here in the Far East the encoding is a serious problem
        hampering the use of QGIS. I was just pointed out a problem with
        the GRASS plugin on Win: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/4547 and the
        solution the use:
        http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Qgis1-5-Grass-tt3730164.html#a3730165
        basically they set up the entire environment in EN, but this is
        not optimal, as the translation is actually there, as we can see
        e.g. on osx and of course on Linux. It looks a very simpl e
        problem, anybody has an idea on how to solve it more elegantly?
        All the best, and thanks. -- Paolo Cavallini - Faunalia
