Since I developed my own modules in Drupal, now it’s time to translate them into Thai. In order to translate custom modules, I need to generate .pot files from all PHP codes. Drupal provides extractor.php in the translation templates or you may directly get it from CVS. Note that you need PHP command line interface to run extractor.php. In Ubuntu, you can install php4-cli or php5-cli which match to your installation. To generate .pot files, follow below instruction.

Some people deployed Google Desktop but not Google Sidebar. I don’t know why because I love Google Sidebar. Anyway, it was a bit difficult to access Desktop Search when you want. Google realized that and . Whenever you want to search for anything in desktop, just simple press Ctrl key twice. You might see Quick Search Box and then press Ctrl key twice again to hide the box.

I was asked to help reading e-mail with TIS-620 encoding, Thai, archived by Mailman in HTML format. Since Thai characters are above ascii range, Mailman changed all Thai characters into ascii character by running escape entity function. For example, A could be encoded to A. That means all Thai characters were converted to € - ÿ, roughly. Both IE and Firefox will display these entities in latin1 encoding no matter what I forced, e.g., TIS-620.

Fortunately, Python helps me in just a few line of code. See below.

s = "ÊØ¡ÃÕ"
