The Umlaut Problem - How To Successfully Back Up And Restore MySQL Databases With Special Characters Using MySQLDumper

Introduction

This article was written by Daniel Schlichtholz, the developer of MySQLDumper - a free and useful script for backing up and restoring databases. The original language was German and I have translated it to English, because there are people using umlauts and other special characters in other languages who would benefit from reading this article. The original article, in German, can be found here.

The Umlaut-Problem:

There are lots of forums with heaps of reports of umlauts or other special characters being displayed erroneously. Attempts to help come from many sides, but hardly anyone seems to have a really complete picture of the problem. Even web hosts' support hotlines seem to reach their limit of knowledge with this one. There are incredible amounts

Gettext For Static Websites

Here's how I implemented a translation management system for a static website, using GNU gettext. For the impatient, I've distilled it to 11 instructions at the end.

Goal

This system allows block-by-block translation (string-by-string), which is better than page-by-page because:

Changes to non-translated parts will be applied to all translations automatically (formatting, tags, images, maybe dates, names, links, etc.). By storing the text blocks of all pages together, repeated blocks will only have to be translated once (menu text, copyright notices, headings, etc.). You won't get lost when the original changes while the translation is still in progress. When you change a paragraph in the original, it's easier to see what pa

dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computer's DMI (some say SMBIOS) table contents in a human-readable format. This table contains a description of the system's hardware components, as well as other useful pieces of information such as serial numbers and BIOS revision. Thanks to this table, you can retrieve this information without having to probe for the actual hardware.

Take a look at

man dmidecode

to find out all options. The most common option is the --type switch which takes one or more of the following keywords:

bios, system, baseboard, chassis, processor, memory, cache, connector, slot

You can as well

SystemImager lets you create images of your Linux installations. To do so, you need an image server (should have enough disk space to store your images) and a so-called golden client (i.e., the system of which you want to make an image). This means that you have to install some software on your image server and on your golden client in order to run SystemImager. This tutorial shows how to install a SystemImager server and a SystemImager client, both using Ubuntu 8.10, and how to create/update/restore/delete images.

1 Preliminary Note

I'm using an Ubuntu 8.10 server with the IP address 192.168.0.100 as the SystemImager server here (I refer to it as the
