[Bug 11442] New: add conversion of national characters on the fly
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11442 Summary: add conversion of national characters on the fly Product: Wine Version: 0.9.44. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: bluedzins(a)wp.pl The problem is that I use some apps that require input of polish characters. I can type of course characters from a to z, but to get letters like óęąłśżć I have to press for example alt+a alt+o alt+l etc. Since the ó character is "international" also (not solely polish) I manage to input this one. But the rest of them are ignored (*). (*) I don't know if the keystroke is ignored, or the character the keystroke creates is ignored Some thoughts: a) it would be good to being able to input (for example) polish characters in the way described above b) but alternative exists -- conversion on the fly, this means I would press keys that creates polish characters in linux and such character is converted (user should specify source and target charset encoding) and put into windows app I don't know if wine uses xkb layout for keys, it seems it does not, so it is hard to tell for me what would be the best solution to add just a miminal complexity. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Please specify your Hardware and OS above.
Sorry, the list is not sorted and I missed linux. I set PC as a hardware, I don't know it if correct, I use 32bit intel.
Also filing a bug for so old version of Wine is in the most cases useless, always report the bugs for the latest released Wine version.
You are right, I upgraded and changed the version info accordingly. No change however in behaviour.
What's your locale settings?
I test it for LANG=en_EN and LANG=pl_PL.cp1250. But there is no difference either. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11442 --- Comment #4 from Maciej Pilichowski <bluedzins(a)wp.pl> 2008-02-02 09:03:56 --- Hans, I use opensuse 10.3. With this LANG I can use basic apps, like notepad, and then I get polish characters (thank you!) but this method fails for the app I would like to use. The reason is (tested) that app was installed with different LANG. So... it works if user set LANG to the value she/he would like to see in Windows/Wine environment, however it would be great to see this as settings in wine. It is sufficient to set locale for Windows and wine could simply set LANG before launching accordingly. This way user does not have to touch to any "black magic" :-) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I know.

I cannot do this -- I need separate settings. Besides, you have in Windows settings for your locale, right? In Wine, you have audio, graphics, but the locale is missing. Since there is no Windows, there is no place you can set -- in nice, GUI manner.
Closing invalid. Wine is part of the system not self-contained system. It have to integrate (which it does) not duplicate all settings (which are bugs, and should be fixed/removed).
I don't fully understand your thinking. Wine provides way to run Windows apps, right? In Windows you can set (for example) for specific app keyboard A, for another one, keyboard B. How can you do this in Wine? Only by setting LANG, it works, but my wish is to provide GUI way to do it. Changing each time the whole system settings because it is needed by _one_ app it is no solution really.

"LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 wine setup.exe" and "LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 wine installedapp.exe" ... you're not changing system settings. Anyway, this isn't the right forum for discussion.

However I doubt that regular user knows how to set this -- for example as one liner in command line in Kicker panel app settings. The wish is: provide GUI way to configure this. It could be stand next to windows version combo box. And I believe this is the exact forum for posting wish-reports. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Could add a new tab in winecfg, and allow configuring LANG on a per-app basis. Would make a good little project for someone with some spare time... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
