it also needs patching to handle international strings well.
i have patched it by hand but it's somewhat ugly and requires testing...

and also it have a crazy encoded po-file :) (ISO-8859-1 is not normal for cyrillic) i have converted it to UTF-8 using

iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t cp1252 ru.po | iconv -f koi8-r -t UTF-8 > ru-utf.po

this is not normal behaviour i think :)

why not posting a bug directly at the source, when you're at it?
Comment by shild (shilder) - Sunday, 18 March 2007, 18:17 GMT
i'm working on it :) there are also some cosmetic bugs in help screen, errors in russian translation and bugs in displaying russian filenames in directories :) i have corrected translation and added simple patch to correct displaying of international symbols in playlist, but there is still more work to do.

ok, i'm attaching PKBUILD and my current patch now :)

thank you for the patch... but i think this should be included in the sources of the project and not only in our pacakging.

It don't show russian messages in koi8-r locale too.

can you please report it upstream?
Comment by Greg (dolby) - Saturday, 24 May 2008, 09:41 GMT
Any news from upstream?

What's the status of this issue?
Comment by Greg (dolby) - Friday, 18 July 2008, 17:11 GMT
I think upstream is not that active anymore so if we want this implemented the application should be patched. At least until further notice. Although i dont know if this is fixed in SVN.

ncmpc was rebuilt against ncursesw with the big ncurses rebuild. Is this fixed?
