Description of problem: iconv not doing transliterate Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fc11: glibc-2.10.1-4.x86_64 glibc-2.10.1-4.i686 glibc-common-2.10.1-4.x86_64 FC10: glibc-common-2.9-3.x86_64 glibc-2.9-3.i686 glibc-2.9-3.x86_64 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo Тест | LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 iconv -f UTF-8 -t ascii//translit Actual results: ???? Expected results: Test Additional info: possible other languages also have similar problem
There are no cyrillic characters in ASCII. Transliteration does not convert between scripts.
thera also have no other languages specific letters as umlauts in german, echo Füße | LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 iconv -f UTF-8 -t ascii//translit result Fuesse, howewer there is not in ascii table letters ü and ß ... so it's bug ...
or polish: echo Žluťoučký kůň | LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 iconv -f UTF-8 -t ascii//translit result Zlutoucky kun , that also was not in latin characters ... Be sure that your answer correspond to declaration of package you have included for maintain : libiconv is part of glibc , iconv functionality defined on http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ i'm understand - easiest way to say it's not a bug,...
for latest iconv do git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/libiconv.git and you will get full source of iconv - and you will see that in your source is missed many files related to many encodings ...
These are all latin characters.
