           Summary: Japanese block text translation on Babelfish does not
                    work with Default encoding
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 417.x
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Website
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: surajrai at mac.com


The "Block Text" translation feature in BabelFish Altavista does work on the
latest Safari using "Default" encoding.  It works fine if I change the encoding
to "Japanese (Shift JIS)".

To replicate:

   1) Set your character encoding to Default

   2) Go to http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr

   3) In the "Translate a block of text" form, type in ??  (not sure if this
will work with bugzilla) however any Japanese character should do the trick

   4) Select "Japanese To English" and click translate and notice the results
come back as ????

This appears to work fine in FireFox with default character encodings so not
sure how Safari should behave but it is a bit annoying having to change the
encoding every time you want to do translation.
