Localization
by Uri Sharf on Wednesday 10/Nov/2004, @08:06

BTW, Looking at the RFC, is there any intention to handle localization issues? AFAIK OGo's libFoundation is 8 bit (problem with Hebrew/Arabic etc.) Does it mean that with the new protocol there's no need to use libFoundation?

Regards,
Uri

The protocol has nothing to do with the Foundation library being used, actually its even independend of the groupware server being used and only relies on HTTP, some WebDAV, iCalendar and vCard.
Maybe it should be made explicit in the RFC, the client and server are supposed to support UTF-8 as the encoding for the iCalendar and vCard entities (text/calendar;charset=utf-8 MIME type).

PS: OGo already works fine with Cocoa Foundation and probably does with the GNUstep one. Also, libFoundation does support UTF-8 and the OGo API was always based on Unicode. The pending localization issues are mostly in code which connects to plain-C libraries. There are detailed reports on them in the OGo developer list, feel free to join! ;-)
