Summary0000258: Imposible to add an apostroph to the database
DescriptionWhen trying to input an apostroph ' to the database, it becomes converted to `. This is a problem when the real apostroph is required, for example in a URL or an IRC channel.
Additional InformationExample:
http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=group&gid=2467

Rar advices to convert the database to French... hum, I mean, to convert the database to Unicode.

Note urls aren't an issue, eg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Arc-en-Ciel

And I'm up for translation of of anidb interface, we just need a full time webcoder, that exp gets along with.

well, the auto conversion of ' is a security/legacy issue.
this won't be changed anytime soon.
and I don't see this as a real problem either.

converting the entire db to utf8 was already requested and would be a nice thing. however it involves a lot of difficulties and work.
so don't expect to see that anytime soon.

as for internationalization of the interface, well that's atm not even on the todo list. i guess that would be something to do if we ever do a complete rewrite of anidb. so maybe in a couple of years :P
and I don't think it's really needed either, anidb is after all an english centered anime community. if you don't know english you will have a hard time anyway (i.e. animetitles, anime descriptions, reviews, forum, news, creq descriptions, ...)
