[Bug 321143] Re: flashplugin: wrong locale detection

[Malaria]

Well, I though it was an Ubuntu bug, sorry for that.
In fact it seems to be a long term bug: since flash 9.0.124.0 ! (I never noticed this before...)
Here is the link to the issue tracker:

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-40

** Summary changed:

- flashplugin: wrong locale detection
+ flashplugin: incorrect unicode input

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
  
  Ubuntu 8.10
  Version of flashplugin-nonfree: 10.0.15.3ubuntu1~intrepid1
  Locale: fr_FR (maybe same problem with other?)
  
  It's a long time bug  but I can't find any bug-report about this, so
  here it is!
  
  In flash sites (like deezer, open street map...) accent aren't displayed normally: typing "é" displays "é", "ô" displays "ô" and same kind of things with all accents!
  However, if I type accents, for example in OO.o or any non-flash area in Firefox, and then I copy-paste it to the flash site, it displays very well.
  
  
- Here are the results of some searches:
- Since the release of flash 10, Adobe seems to have set a new way for internationalization.
- According to the "Internationalization" part in http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15380
- the environment variable LANG have to be set to fr_FR (in my case).
- But mine is set to "fr_FR.UTF-8" (see attachment).
- I tried to do "export LANG=fr_FR" , to rename "/usr/lib/locale/fr_FR.utf8" to "/usr/lib/locale/fr_FR" but no results.
- I also tried with all French variant (fr_BE, fr_CA ...) but still nothing.
- 
  Thank you for your attention! (and sorry for my English ;) )
