in reply to Perl Monks in other languages?

I think the major reason a translation effort has never really gotten started isn't that there isn't a place for them to orginize... it's because there aren't enough translators-to-be, esp for any given langauge.

Also, if you want to translate the site docs, you don't want a sepperate group. You want to be part of the sitedocclan.

(BTW, note that all content in the monestary is latin-1 (iso-8869-1), not Unicode. That makes it annoying to translate into Japanese, Russian, or anything else that uses a non-latin-based alphabet.)

    grrr...you weren't kidding were you. Anyone with info on how make Japanese characters work, I would be happy for the info.

      You need to entitize all characters not within the latin-1 reptiore. I /belive/ this code will do it, assuming $_ is your text, stored as "proper" utf8, with perl's utf-8 flag set.

       my $ord;
 s/(.)/$ord=ord $1;
 if ($ord < 128) {
  $1;
 } else {
  "&#$1;";
 }
 /ge;
