Please try to join the discussion also if you don't know perl, but if you know well one of those: - Arabic alphabet and language - Hebrew alphabet and language - CJK writing systems and languages
In addition, it would be great to have input from Koha users using *any* language that contains diacritics, as there is a functionality question underlying the discussion.
At the moment, the module in question is used to remove diacritics when automatically generating a public catalog username -- e.g., if a patron whose surname is Müller is registered with a Koha database, would they expect, based on their use of other websites, that their username could include the diacritic (e.g., "müller")? Or would they expect that it would never include the diacritics (e.g., "muller")?
I am not sure what happen in Koha. But Koha developer may find some clue from this old document. "The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!) / by Joel Spolsky Wednesday, October 08, 2003, http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html There is a a Chinese version http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~p92005/Joel/Unicode.html Did Koha deal with Unicode properly from the very beginning? -- Wishing you all the best. . . .
