Software » Web » Redmine plugins » Localizable

Hi,

I have just plugged localizable 0.2.0 in my Redmine 1.4.4+dfsg1-2+deb7u1 (Debian Wheezy) with PostgreSQL as the backend. After adding translations some strings caused errors both on plugin's configuration page and on Redmine Issues page. I have used parts of localizable 0.3.0 to fix the configuration page:

diff -ur localizable.0.2.0/app/views/settings/_localizable.html.erb localizable.0.3.0/app/views/settings/_localizable.html.erb

But I was still getting errors (incompatible character encodings: ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8) on the Issues page. The patch attached fixes that problem as well.

The curious thing is that the mechanizm serializing my strings seems to be unstable. For example it would serialize 1-letter string "ą" (\xc4\x85) to a binary, but a string "Rozwiązanie" containing "ą" to a unicode string. One of strings causing problems because of being converted to binary (QsWCxIVk in base64) was "Błąd" (B\xc5\x82\xc4\x85d).

I do not know Ruby at all, so I am not sure if it was the correct way to fix that.
