Description

This has been requested many times, so i decided to consolidate all the request here:

Lazytt: Most fields generate an error when I try to save them with hebrew text. (#1729)

andrew4455: The display name doesn't allow the inputting of data in Lastname, Firstname format. It seems the , character is invalid. This would be useful so that you can get alphabetically sorted lists by last name for extensions, and other features, such as FOP. (#1880)

djelibeybi: If you try entering a name like "Patrick O'Toole" in the Display Name field, FreePBX complains about not having an outbound CID configured. However, if you remove the apostrophe, it works fine. (#1532)


The reason for all the restriction is basically summed up by rob:

"...but allowing users to use ' in names won't be fixed for a while yet, possibly until 3.0, to avoid SQL injection errors."

mbrevda - the links is dead but, sorry, I mis-understood that you had closed the bugs because you opened this one in their place.

There is some intresting stuff going on in the asterisk trunk to support utf8:

and murfs:

here is a hint. Most valuable is the lesson learned: 

LESSON LEARNED: KEEP EVERYTHING IN UTF-8, ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE, FROM DAY ONE.

You’ll be glad you did some day.

mbrevda:

The information is interesting and probably useful (I have not looked) to capture here. But I need a developer to join the team who has a vested interest in cleaning up the whole localization and language side of things. It's not a lack of interest on any of our parts, it's a lack of relative priority to us. If someone wants to come forward and get involved, we will provide access to them to help start working on this. (Dialplan and Code side).

Just wanted to mention that since the voicemail.conf file uses the comma character as a field seperator, it cannot deal with names in the format of Last, First. However, I don't think the same issue would come up with a Asterisk Realtime configuration for voicemail.
