I've signed up for the technical list againand now I find myself drowning in Wikipedia mailing lists... but next week I should have a nice computer in Slovenia to work with, so hopefully that will not be a problem. :)

Anyway, we now have a problem (bug) on the Esperanto Wikipedia and I thought perhaps other people on the list might have some ideas. Basically, Esperanto has special non-ASCII characters that are often typed on the Internet by using an x after the ASCII letter, but they are usually displayed in Unicode.

We need to be able to allow our users to type in x-system or Unicode and have the result be in Unicode. We also need to allow the users to view the Esperanto encyclopedia in x-system in case they are using an older browser that does not support it. In the older software, this worked perfectly. We also had an extra link on the top which allowed the user to switch their view simply from X-System to Unicode and back by manually editing a user preference.

Is this possible simply by editing EoLanguage.php or do will we need to edit other files as well? Which one(s)? Also, it would help if Brion could give a technical explanation of the problem here so perhaps even I could try to help solve it soon. I would like this to be fixed before I start the next wave of promotion.

Thanks, Chuck Smith
