However, it fails badly, all chars are just replaced with ?. It seems to be independent from my current locale, I can set en_US.UTF-8 or de_DE.UTF-8 or ru_RU.UTF-8, it still fails. Transliteration of latin seems to work, though: echo Müßte асдфасфд | LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//translit Muesste ???????? echo Müßte асдфасфд | LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//translit Musste ???????? I had a "discussion" with a Debian maintainer of glibc, who indicated that the problem is in the locale which controls the transliterations... but, from my POV, there should be a default fallback when there is no other transliteration scheme. And I remember that it has been working with glibc some months or years ago. -- Summary: Transliteration Cyrillic -> ASCII fails Product: glibc Version: 2.3.6 Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: localedata AssignedTo: libc-locales at sources dot redhat dot com ReportedBy: edi at gmx dot de CC: glibc-bugs at sources dot redhat dot com http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2872 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
