I am building apps for a non-english audience. Right now, I use english nouns to name my models, yet I prefer to use native dutch ones. As the convention uses the plural of the class name for tables, I assume it is the pluralize method inside Rails (where it resides, I wouldn't know). How can I change the pluralize method and where is it...
I have a WebForm search page that gets occasional hits from international visitors. When they enter in text, it appears to be plain ASCII a-z, 0-9 but they are printed in bold and my "is this text" logic can't handle the input. Is there any easy way in ASP.NET to convert unicode characters that equate to A-Z, 0-9 into plain old text? Th...

When I see a small program which is written for some students, I often see something like this: (haskell, german): ueber = "What the haeck!" instead of über = "What the häck!" As many modern languages are specified to allow non-standard charactes in declaration names via UTF-8, is there a special reason for avoiding these in a proj...
Hi! I have an html form with a lot of text fields that all take only one character (think crossword puzzle). When a letter is entered in an input field, I use jQuery to jump to the next one. This works fine, except for the Swedish characters åäö (other international characters are probably affected too). I bind an event listener to the...
