GUI Charset for localization

dvserg

In non-latin languagies (Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic) may be need use charset=UTF-8 for correct symbol display

/usr/local/www/head.inc

may be replace as


if isset($g['gui_charset'])
  echo "";
else
  echo "";
?>

And globals variable $g['gui_charset'], if need, can be defined as $g['gui_charset'] = "UTF-8";

What are your opinions?

IMO, UTF-8 should be really the default pretty much everywhere. :D

I do not know all the specifics of the GUI, so the question to the Guru
I want to make it more user-friendly localization mechanism

Well yes, there is no reason for the encoding to default to things like ISO-8859-1, nor any reason for similar workarounds. IOW, instead of the suggested, make it:

dvserg,

Take a look at this commit, this is the Turkish Language, but the updates made should make it easier for other languages as well:

WebGUI Auto Codeset and Language Dynamics & pfSense.pot updates

It is not just /usr/local/www/head.inc that needs to be changed.

I think this approach is not the right
To add a new language requires changing the system functions.
Perhaps it is best to search pfsense.mo files, compiling a list of languages on it.
And MO Files Management (add / delete / replace) possible make as separate package as my old package for 2.0.х
