Ok, I believe we've tracked it down -- the data
came through fine from
PayPal, and into our primary databases, but got corrupting during
copying from the primary database to the reporting database.
The corruption appears to have been due to a temporary variable in the
trigger script using the default server encoding (Latin-1) instead of
the encoding of the related databases (UTF-8).
I've updated the trigger to define the charset on the variable, which
should hopefully fix it for new entries, and have rebuilt the reporting
database so old entries are now correct.
Thank you very much!
I see that some (maybe all) Japanese names are correctly displayed. I
am very glad thanks to your work.
But I have a very few dissatisfaction. Surname are displayed after
personal name. As you know, in east Asia we write surname and personal
name in this order.
If you had good way to correct the order of only name of east Asian (and
people in other countries that have surname-personal name ordering),
please do it. If not, I guess that the better way is to display like
"Surname, Personal name" in all people.
This dissatisfaction is not so strong. But I feel more happy if you did
anything for this problem.
By the way, I sent some mails to ML wikitech-l. But they are not in the
Archive. Why?
