Hello,
In Kallithea we sometimes have users reporting problems that are
caused by them not starting the application from an UTF-8 environment.
This can normally be solved by setting 'LANG' and 'LC_ALL' to a UTF-8
value but this can be done in several places.
Please see
https://bitbucket.org/conservancy/kallithea/issues/310/accentuated-characters-improperly-rendered
as an example.
Here it is reported that the issue can be solved by changing Apache
config, and that Gearbox did not have the problem to begin with.
A suggestion from a Kallithea developer to change app_cfg.py to set
environment variables did not seem to have effect on the Apache
situation.
My question is now: what is the recommended way to handle this?
Does Turbogears2/Gearbox already does something automatically?
Any other feedback on this topic?
Thanks a lot,
Thomas
