did pyzim support chinese traditional

[Alex Tu]

Hello, I am a chinese user.
I found pyzim could not support chinese index.
If I use chinese index, and error occor like below:

And search function could not search chinese term.

So, I guess pyzim does not support chinese. Right?

In principle all languages should be supported. However we only support
UTF-8 encoding at the moment. Work to support other encodings still
needs to be done.

Thanks for your answer.
I found chinese index could work fine in Ubuntu with pyzim.
It seems like chinese encode in Ubuntu is UTF-8.

So I guess if I could change encoding to UTF-8 when edit index, chinese index may work in windows XP with pyzim.
But I don't know how to change input encoding in pyzim.
Could you teach me how to try this?

But even chinese index could work in Ubuntu with pyzim, chinese search still failed.
I could not understand why search function could work in Ubuntu.

sorry I forgot to descript my environment.

In windows XP:
I install pyzim-0.46 on http://www.glump.net/software/zim
This version could not support chinese index.
But I try pyzim-0.44, it seem support chinese index.
This is my tarball of pyzim-0.44 I used.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2495108/zim-0.44.tar.gz

In Ubuntu:
I try pyzim-0.46 and it work fine with chinese index.

Attach my test note,
there is a chinese index "中文測試" under "root_eng" index.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2495108/TestNotes.rar

And this index could show up normally in Ubuntu with pyzim-0.46.
There is a snapshot.

But in windows xp and open the same note by pyzim-0.46, I could not find that chinese index in index window.

I assume that, if this note could be open in Ubuntu and show chinese index normally, this note index should be saved by utf-8 encoding.

I think this is a duplicate of the bug #572805.

Thanks for your kindly response.
But here is an issue when I excute python code in windows.

I follow README file and install
gtk+-2.16.6
python-2.6.5
python-gtk-2.16.0
python-gobject-2.20.0

When I excute D:\zim-0.46>test.py
It cause an error and response:

WARNING: Can not import 'xdg.Mime' - falling back to 'mimetypes'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\zim-0.46\test.py", line 326, in <module>
    main()
  File "D:\zim-0.46\test.py", line 169, in main
    test = loader.loadTestsFromName(name)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\unittest.py", line 584, in loadTestsFromName
    parent, obj = obj, getattr(obj, part)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'applications'

Is there any more I need to do?

@CCTU: this is a generic error when running the test. May or may not be related to the bug report above.
