So it's already noted. Well, I won't touch anything here until you comment on that. --- //[[wiki:user:bocke|Bojan Popovic]] 2012/11/18 23:08// | So it's already noted. Well, I won't touch anything here until you comment on that. --- //[[wiki:user:bocke|Bojan Popovic]] 2012/11/18 23:08// |
>> I meant that because the kernel uses UTF-8 as default, if you don't append vt.default_utf8 at all, you have UTF-8. But you're right, it becomes unclear, I will delete this line. --- //[[wiki:user:markush|Markus Hutmacher]] 2012/11/19 04:07// | >> I meant that because the kernel uses UTF-8 as default, if you don't append vt.default_utf8 at all, you have UTF-8.

| >>> I don't think that's the case with Slack. I think the default is vt.default_utf8=0. Anyway, I know the most of the other distros do have vt.defaults=1 as the default. --- //[[wiki:user:bocke|Bojan Popovic]] 2012/11/19 09:32// |

| >>>>> I believe you. I did browse through docs before. I even looked in the kernel source. But there could also be a .config option to override that. There's no logic in liloconif adding vt.default_utf8=1 when a user enables utf-8, if there's no reason for it. Anyway you will find the similar advice on Dugan Chen's unicode article on his blog. So I would think this is somehow overriden. Or it's not enabled by default. --- //[[wiki:user:bocke|Bojan Popovic]] 2012/11/19 10:07// |

| >>>> Ok, now take one last look at the whole page. If you think it sounds ok, we can ask for comments on the mailing list. I would also ask for any contribution from anyone using Slackware in languages that require special input methods (we haven't covered those yet). On the other side, I think the European languages are covered pretty good. --- //[[wiki:user:bocke|Bojan Popovic]] 2012/11/19 09:26// |
| >>>>> Hi Bojan, I have already after my recent changes, written a mail to the site-admins and asked if they plan to divide the page (referring to Erics posting above). I think that languages with special input methods should be focused in the translation. I mean, when anyone translates this page to chinese or persion etc, then he should add what's necessary. And this page should be (as is yet) focus localization in a more generic manner. --- //[[wiki:user:markush|Markus Hutmacher]] 2012/11/19 09:41// |
| >>>>>> Great. Thank you. Considering alternative input methods, I guess the admins will have the last word on that. I'm ok with both options, but personally think a localization article should be international enough. That, of course doesn't mean including individual methods or tips, but rather the general input methods like [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Common_Input_Method|SCIM]]. --- //[[wiki:user:bocke|Bojan Popovic]] 2012/11/19 10:14// |
| >>>>>>> Ah, I don't know SCIM ;) it should at least be mentioned with a link. --- //[[wiki:user:markush|Markus Hutmacher]] 2012/11/19 10:41// |
| >>>>>>>> Neither do I, but I'll try to test it and write something about it for sake of completeness. --- //[[wiki:user:bocke|Bojan Popovic]] 2012/12/01 03:46// |
