xml:lang attribute missing?

Posted on 2005-09-30 02:01:25-07 by jtalbot

According to the core XMPP protocol, chapter 13 titled "internationalization considerations", an 'xml:lang' attribute should be included somewhere, but I think it's not.

I'm having great difficulty (in fact it's impossible) sending international (non-western) characters to windows clients from Net::Jabber. Yet all windows clients seem to happily send international characters to each other easily.

I don't know if xml:lang is the fault, if you have any suggestions or comments I'd be greatful to hear.

I'm using Net::XMPP 1.0 on Perl 5.8.4.

Re: xml:lang attribute missing?

Someone tested on his system the same Perl script that doesn't work well on my system. There it works.

My system has Perl 5.8.4 and jabberd 1.4.3.
His system has Perl 5.8.6 and jabberd 1.4.4.

I'll test this further and see what comes out.

Re: xml:lang attribute missing?

What was needed for my version of perl to function well with international characters on Net::XMPP was to include 'use utf8'
