Description Eckhart Wörner 2010-03-18 03:48:30 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)

This bug has been copied over from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=545746 and has been verified to still exist in KDE SC 4.4.1

----

Localized manpages contain HTML entities (those begining with &
and ending with ;) instead of non-ascii symbols. Given that Ukrainian
language uses non-ascii symbols a lot, it is not possible to read such
manpages (at least for normal humans). Those characters should be
encoded in UTF-8 or whatever is now supported by mandb.

Apparently, this is not limited to uk, but also happens with ru.

Please see http://lists.kde.org/?t=126613958500001&r=1&w=2

It happens in any language with non-ISO-8859-1 symbols. Fix requires patching from [1] + bootstrap rebuild of all docs for the new version.

Can I commit the fix at least in trunk?

Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2010-03-18 19:57:56 UTC

There was never a "no" in that thread so if you're willing to fix anything your change might fix, go ahead.

Comment 4 Yuri Chornoivan 2010-03-18 20:22:52 UTC

Ok, I commited rev. 1104861 (trunk) and 1104867 (branch). :)

To solve the problem one have to recompile kde-l10n-<langcode> packages on a system with the new kdoctools from SVN.
