Irish Blogs

Wednesday, August 6, 2003 
OK, so it didn't work exactly like I thought I'm going to have to look into this. The Hawaiian, which previously worked ok does not now. The Irish works either way, but the characters are not Unicode. Doesn't really matter as the fada (diacritic over some of the vowels) is found in standard font sets. I'll get back to this tonight.

Irish/Gaelic in Radio? To answer a question on HomoLudens, I'm not sure if Radio will handle Irish/Gaelic languages, let's try

This line is Irish using 8 bit charaters:

Ní foclóir iomlán é seo, ach tá súil againn go mbeidh sé úsáideach d'oifigigh atá ag iarraidh teacht go tapaidh ar fhocail agus ar abairtí a úsáidtear go rialta ina réimsí féin.

This is the same line using (I think) Unicode. I'll have to check out the source after this upstreams:

Here is Hawaiian as Unicode (I already know this works):

'O Keola Donaghy ko?u inoa. He haum?na ??lelo Hawai?i au ma ka papahana laeo?o ma ka mo?okalaleo a me ka ??lelo Hawai?i ma ke kulanui o Hawai?i ma Hilo.

Doing the diacritics in both language in Unicode is dependant on your browser's support for the Unicode. Radio is not Unicode compliant under OS X, so I can't type or edit any of the diacriticts required for Irish or Hawaiian directly in Radio. Safari is Unicode compliant, and by what means I don't know, but the rendering of said text to my website on http://radio.userland.com works fine for me. So far.

It's no secret, Dave! The ability to edit my Manila site was one of my primary motivations for buying Radio in the first place. The second, back in the pre-iTunes days, was to drive my MP3s and record my listening habits. The only thing it is missing, and I went around with Brent on this way back, is the inability to post news items to a Manila site from Radio. I understood his point - some things may be more conducive to a web interface - but why bother if you could avoid it? You can post new stories and new discussion group messages, why not news items? If I ever get a free weekend I may try to figure out how to do it myself.
