[rt-users] [PATCH] Japanese support in RT 2.0.11

[Ben Gertzfield]

I have patched Request Tracker 2.0.11 to work with Japanese, and both
email and web work correctly now.  Outgoing emails and incoming emails
are both supported in Japanese.

This patch does not deal with any languages other than Japanese and
English, and in fact will probably break if
German/French/Russian/whatever messages are sent.

This patch requires Jcode.pm from http://openlab.ring.gr.jp/Jcode/ to
be installed.  It stores all data in the DB in EUC-JP, and converts
incoming emails from ISO-2022-JP to EUC-JP.  The subject line is
correctly MIME decoded/encoded with Base64 then converted, as well.

You will want to tell your web server to serve all pages for RT as
EUC-JP.  In my apache httpd.conf, I used:

AddDefaultCharset euc-jp

The patch is available at:

http://nausicaa.interq.or.jp/rt/rt-japanese.patch

Patch follows, against Request Tracker version 2.0.11.
