Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020317
BuildID:    2002031708

Recently I found an issue of character coding in Mozilla 0.9.9+.
If I visit a website which does not tell its charset, the Mozilla
does not show it using my default character setting.
For example, my default char-setting is "Traditional Chinese".
And the Auto-Detect of Char-setting is enable.
Mozilla just show webpage using "Chinese Simplified(GB18030)".
I have to force it to Chinese-Big5 manually.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.setup your char-setting to "Traditional Chinese" and turn off "Auto-Detect" in
"Character Setting"
2.visit any website does not give "setchar=" information
3.And then you will see Mozilla using "Chinese Simplified(GB18030)" to display,
    not the one, "Traditional Chinese", to display.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should display according to user's specific setting,
while Auto-Detect  off.

I think this looks more like a I18N issues, than a bug in the MozillaTranslator
program.

reporter: Can you provide few links for our testing?
          There could be number of things in determining the charset. Thanks

Hello Roy,

Of course I can provide them.
But please give me some time, I'm busy recently for my business...:-(
I'll ask some one to do this also.

Hello Roy,

About this issue occurs in 0.9.9+.

I can not reproduce it on 06-18 1.0.0 branch build.

It sounds like a problem(bug 132006) that exisiting in mozilla 0.9.9 but fixed now.

I'm marking this as invalid cause it's not existing any more. Please re-open if
disagree.
