Topic: Japanese Character

[nald]

Hi,

I would like to ask if SME 6.0.1 would support japanese character.  I do have a file server in our company and one japanese tried to save files in the file server and it created an error coz it was japanese.
 
Does anybody know if SME support japanese character?

Thanks..

Yes, do a search on chinese and just replace the codepage with the japanese one and you are ready to go

For me there are two kinds of Japanese support:

The first is the filesystem - does it support Japanese filenames. It can do, but not by default on SME6.0.1 You need to modify smb.conf here is the top of my smb.conf

case sensitive = no
#character set = ISO8859-1
#client code page = 850
client code page = 932
coding system = EUC
character set =

The second is support of Japanese emails. SME Server 6.0.1 and 6.5 beta both fail here
However the good news is that the community have a solution in the form of a HowTo to install Horde 3 and IMP4 to 6.x which can be found in the forums.

I hope this points you in the right direction - just post again if there are problems.

What is the character set value?  You didn't state that one below... I placed question mark...

case sensitive = no
#character set = ISO8859-1
#client code page = 850
client code page = 932
coding system = EUC
character set = ?

character set = ?

It should be left with no value. I cannot remember why - it was a long time ago that I searched for this information.

Note that I have not Japanese with tried SME 6.5 or Samba 3 yet. The instructions do work with SME 6.0.1
