Hello,
there's an essential problem with i18n in ICQ-t.
When non-us/ascii icq-message goes through ICQ-t it's en(de)coded
to(from) UTF8 with assumption of its encoding is windows-1252 (Latin1).
But there're other encodings used by ICQ-users worldwide (e.g. cp1251 for
cyrillic), but there's no way for ICQ-t to determinate which one to use when
en(de)code to(from) UTF8, 'cause icq-message doesn't contain "Content-Type"
header, I guess... ;)
I can suggest the following way to resolve that problem. It should be
written in jabber.xml what charset is used with ICQ-t. And we'll be
forced to have one publicly available jabber-server for one codepage ;)
Or that option can be specified when user is registering with ICQ-t,
if Jabber-transport API allows such tricks.
