Hi,
in the course of vcard and the encoding issue I ask herewith for help to
solve another annoying utf8 encoding issue.
Problem:
Attached images show that My_Documents when language set to bg gets mangled.
Unfortunately looking into this I found out it is mangled in
/opt/trinity/share/apps/kdesktop/Desktop/My_Documents
I tested in fresh install of TDE, but after first logout/login it changed
I workaround it by fixing the file and removing the write permissions.
I don't know where to look for the system:/ entry.
regards

Have you fixed the encoding in the system-wide file
(/opt/trinity/share/apps/kdesktop/Desktop/My_Documents)?
It should be enough. The same is required to be done in the kdebase repository.
Also note if you are able to demangle it with some {i,en}conv you, may
want to do the same for bn/be locales, they supposed to be mangled
same way...

Seems somebody missed a spot ;)
Best results I've got:
cat My_Documents | grep '\[b[egn]\]' | iconv -t cp1252 -c
Name[be]=Т�чка дл� дакументаў
Name[bg]=Директори� � документи
Name[bn]=ডক��মেন��ট ফোল��ডার
So they all should be removed or fixed by native speakers (I suppose
we have a Bulgarian one here).
For Belarussian I suspect it should be "Точка для дакументаў" (not
100% positive)...
Got no damn clue, how it should looks on Bengali...

Haha, thanks yes. This is exactly what I mean. According my experience after
correcting it, it looks fine until it gets reloaded. Something I noticed
about KSaveFile - it does not set the encoding to the stream.
I think the original files should be OK and when they get read for first
time it also looks OK, but after this they get mangled.
In my case it does not look like latin1 but utf8 mangling. This might be,
because you run it via iconv -t cp1252
cat /opt/trinity/share/apps/kdesktop/Desktop/Printers | grep '\[b[egn]\]'
Name[be]=Друкаркі
Name[bg]=Принтери
Name[bn]=মদরণ
Anyway, thank you for looking into it. As I wrote before the workaround for
me was to remove the write permissions on the file after changing it.

I updated the My_Documents file and saved. It appears correct on the screen,
but after some time or login - don't recall exactly it appears mangled on
the screen. I check the file and the mangled is there - definitely UTF.
I observed the same with the KSaveFile as stated above.
The correct one is
مستنداتي
Name[bg]=Документи
Oh, I just see here (from git):
tdebase/kdesktop/init/My_Documents
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=folder_wordprocessing
Name=My Documents
Name[af]=Dokument Gids
Name[ar]=مستنداتي

Name[bn]=ডকà§à¦®à§‡à¦¨à§à¦Ÿ ফোলà§à¦¡à¦¾à¦°
So it's broken in git - perhaps one could find the original file and it is
correct there - what a mess - I always hated this encoding stuff. Each time
you have to write some code dealing with text ... it was such a pain ... it
will last another 10-20y before its gone.

I forgot to ask 2 things
1. did you upload the patch, or should I do the paper work.
2. Can you help me solving the second problem "system:/documents" - see
screenshot. I don't even know where it is coming from. If its tdebase
again - I think it is "System.desktop", both could go in a patch together.
In fact if I change this with right mouse click it gets mangled again just
after I press OK.

Yes, I know about it. A second file with the same problem is in
tdeioslave/system/entries/documents.desktop. I'll apply the same patch also
to this file.
