Non-English Users
Dear All,

Any body is using LinksSQL to handle non-english links?
e.g. using Japanese, Germany or Chinese as Title, and Description?

I find a problem, the links can be added by using these languages, however, the 1. backup files, 2. exported files and 3. Importing files cannot support non-english data. It will say compilation error, when importing a file which contain some specific non-english words; some specific non-english words will be changed or crashed in exported files and backup files. This makes me lost the backup and "CANNOT" Backup.
Why?

You may have to wait for Alex who has dealt with this issue the most. There are many who are running foreign languages (non-English).

The only help I can offer is to set the foreign_char to 1 in the Links.pm file, since that allows handling of extended characters in some of the links routines (they are more lenient).
