[ezmlm-www] Translations

[Daniel I. <da...@il...>]

Hi, everyone!

While waiting for some help about setting the search engine up, I took the
liberty to mess a little with the src code. I found that the translations
of this system are located in a directory called "lang". So I translated
the English file into Bulgarian (yes, I'm a Bulgarian), named it "bg.pm"
and it *almost* worked. ;-)
It showed some cryptic symbols in the browser, because the system sends
header setting the character set to "iso-8859-1". OK, I "grep-ed" the
directory and found this header has only one occurrence in "ezmlm-www.pl".
I changed "iso-8859-1" to "UTF-8" and it really worked. ;-)

The most common encoding used in Bulgaria is "cp1251" a.k.a.
"Windows-1251". So I made another file called bg.pm encoded in "cp1251",
changed the header to "Windows-1251" and it worked again. ;-)

My proposition is that encoding should be set by a variable in the *.pm
file, defined by the one whtranslates the *.pm file...for example
"charset=iso-8859-1" for the English version. This way the system could
take the value from the translation and send it to the browser.

In addition I offer the Bulgarian translation in both variants bg-utf8.pm
and bg-cp1251.pm for "UTF-8" and "Windows-1251" respectively. If this is
of interest to the developer(s) I would send the translation for including
in the next versions of this useful tool.
