        i can't see that char here, sorry

      • 2005-10-11 28414, 2005

      • fuchs
        and wrong sortname :)
      • 2005-10-11 28408, 2005

      • Shepard
        at least the sortname should not be kyrillic because we use latin sorting
      • 2005-10-11 28409, 2005

      • fuchs
        but latin transliteration would start with C
      • 2005-10-11 28424, 2005

      • luks
        ok, C. but definitely not T
      • 2005-10-11 28438, 2005

      • Shepard
        one step towards i18n would be adding name fields for every char system and selecting by user settings
      • 2005-10-11 28442, 2005

      • fuchs
        you would have to add a name field for every language in this case
      • 2005-10-11 28459, 2005

      • Shepard imagines what cool things we could do
      • 2005-10-11 28438, 2005

      • fuchs
      • 2005-10-11 28415, 2005

      • Shepard
        so what do you propose?
      • 2005-10-11 28422, 2005

      • Shepard
        come on i want a solution now :)
      • 2005-10-11 28428, 2005

      • fuchs
        in this case, even using the transliteration won't work for sorting, because it's no ASCII char ;)
      • 2005-10-11 28404, 2005

      • fuchs
        i don't listen to Čajkovskij, so remove the artist
      • 2005-10-11 28408, 2005

      • fuchs
        good enough? ;)

        the wiki pages are all about transliterations and translations, i think noone ever thought about transcriptions - but in MB transcriptions are often used as transliteration

      • 2005-10-11 28454, 2005

      • ruaok
        I'm waiting to hear back if I can announce it.
      • 2005-10-11 28400, 2005

      • ruaok
        if so, I'll spill the beans.

      • 2005-10-11 28440, 2005

        my mum isn't very impressed 'cause she offered to dye my hair for me 'cause I always make a mess
      • 2005-10-11 28454, 2005

      • nikki_
        she didn't realise that black dye is almost impossible to not make a mess with >:)
      • 2005-10-11 28434, 2005

      • ruaok
        how is it different from other dyes?
      • 2005-10-11 28450, 2005

      • ruaok
        (it is chemically, but not different in the application process)
      • 2005-10-11 28406, 2005

      • ruaok
        funny for me its always orange and purple that make the greatest mess.
      • 2005-10-11 28419, 2005

      • ruaok
        but statistically speaking, that's not surprising.
      • 2005-10-11 28459, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        I never made a mess with black dye. I guess it's a skill :)

        PRAEst76: do you have waist length hair?
      • 2005-10-11 28429, 2005

      • Shepard
        or it's because you never dyed your hair
      • 2005-10-11 28432, 2005

      • nikki_
        no
      • 2005-10-11 28437, 2005

      • g0llum
        ok. seems pretty easy to do...

      • 2005-10-11 28401, 2005

      • nikki_
        but as it gets longer, it gets harder to do without getting it everywhere
      • 2005-10-11 28414, 2005

      • 2005-10-11 28457, 2005

      • HairMetalAddict
        Was easy enough to fix. Just opened the mysqldump file in an editor and "Save As..." in KDE gives the option to save it as latin-1
