A flaw in iWeb.

    I need help, your help, or rather the help of the Russian poppy community.
    There is an unpleasant bug in iWeb that affects Russian-speaking users.

    The first post complaining about this bug can be found here community.livejournal.com/en_mac/9451204.html
    The original post on my site + a temporary solution to the problem here:

    Thanks for the help as well DeepApple:

    When we export to MobileMe , iWeb creates links containing Russian characters for example
    www.tayleraleks.com/not_empty_space/blog/posts/2009/3/15_indetermined_character_character.html

    Accordingly, in many forums, services (including those that reduce URL sizes), Russian characters are transformed into horrors of the form: www.tayleraleks.com/not_empty_space/ blog / posts / 2009/3 / 15_meåtà_níoípólénée_waet.html

    And accordingly the link does not open.

    But when exporting to a local folder or to FTP , automatic transliteration occurs .
    These links are obtained that are quite entitled to life:
    file: ///Users/aleksandrkulikov/Sites/not_empty_space/blog/posts/2009/3/15_Mecta_neopredelennogo_cveta.html

    I contacted MobileMe Support- corresponded with them for almost two weeks. He requested that they use the same function when exporting the site to MobileMe .
    I eventually received a letter containing the following text:

    Dear Aleksandr,

    This is Johnny a MobileME Support Agent. Thank you for your detailed email on the issue and request. I do understand the need for such a feature. Unfortunately, its a request so, I must go ahead and forward this to the proper channels. I added a request to my Engineers.

    What I need you to do is get as many members you know that are requesting this to the MobileMe Feedback page at:

    www.apple.com/feedback/mobileme.html

    The Engineers, Marketing, and Managers read the feedback forms carefully. The more votes on the request the likely hood it will be implemented.

    Thank you for your patience in this and I hope that we can get this resolved for you in the future.
