Dear PerlMonks,
I'm writing application using wxWidgets on MS Windows and have problem with localization. My locale initialization code is
undef $locale;
$locale = Wx::Locale->new('Czech', 'cz','cz');
$locale->AddCatalogLookupPathPrefix(filename('data/locale'));
$locale->AddCatalog('evidence');
The file data/locale/evidence.po contain UTF-8 encoded translated texts and UTF-8 is correctly specified as charset in Content-Type:
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: evidence VERSION\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2007-07-26 22:49+0200\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>\n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <LL@li.org>\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
but almost all accented letters are malformed. It looks like internal processing somewhere in (or behind) Wx::Locale convert all texts to Windows encoding and set the utf8 flag on...
Can somebody help me? I don't know what is going wrong. Maybe I'm using Wx::Locale in completely wrong way?
As a workaround I've wrote a wrapper routine, but it seems to me that there can be also bug in Encode module, because some chars are not converted properly (e.g. small letter c with caron - which I'm trying to fix with regexp later). Wrapper routine code is
sub _T {
my $gettext;
my $octets;
my $result;
$gettext = gettext(@_);
$octets = Encode::encode(Wx::Locale::GetSystemEncodingName(), $gettex
+t);
$result = Encode::decode_utf8($octets, Encode::FB_PERLQQ);
# fix czech small letter c<
$result =~ s/\\xC4\?/\x{10d}/g;
return $result;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
