[jira] Created: (INFRA-559) JIRA (and Bugzilla?) can't handle non-latin characters
JIRA (and Bugzilla?) can't handle non-latin characters
------------------------------------------------------
Key: INFRA-559
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-559
Project: Infrastructure
Type: Bug
Components: JIRA, Bugzilla
Reporter: Jeff Turner
Multi-byte characters like Chinese (eg. 更多) do not come out in JIRA. Nor do Euro signs (€) or other characters outside the iso-8859-1 character set.
Unfortunately we use MySQL 3.23, which is a halfassed database without Unicode support. We will need to upgrade to 4.1.x before we can switch to utf-8.

[jira] Commented: (INFRA-559) JIRA (and Bugzilla?) can't handle non-latin characters
Posted by "Daniel Rall (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Daniel Rall commented on INFRA-559:
-----------------------------------
MySQL 3.23 can store multi-byte characters just fine -- the only problem is, you then can't search on them. Given that Lucene is used by Jira for text search, perhaps this is not much of a problem?
Display of multi-byte characters is a separate issue, and the reponsibility of Jira. Jira 3.3 doesn't seem to have a problem displaying non ISO-8859-1 character sets. Jeff, will you elaborate on the problem here? Thanks!

Jeff Turner closed INFRA-559.
-----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
I'm not sure what the problem was, but it's been fixed by switching to Postgres.
