Russian WikiWords in FosWiki

I'm trying to set up support for the Russian language wiki. It turns out nothing. Russian language appears in the texts, but can't configure WikiWords.

When LocaleRegexes=1, UseLocale=1, Site Locale = ru_RU.utf8 Russian words are not recognized as the WikiWords. If LocaleRegexes=0 and filled UpperNational and LowerNational all the Russian words are recognized as a valid WikiWord. Even in lowercase.

Who can help with the configure wiki?

# uname-a
Linux wiki 3.2.0-24-virtual #37-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 25 12:51:49 UTC 2012

This is a perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2) built for

This has been asked on the mailing recently. In short:

international WikiWords don't work, sorry.

In fact I'd argue to disable automatic linking of WikiWords all together using

  • Set NOAUTOLINK = on

in your SitePreferences. Instead, use explicit linking using the bracket notation [[...]].

Then use 

$Foswiki::cfg{UseLocale} = 0; 
$Foswiki::cfg{Site}{LocaleRegexes} = 1; 
$Foswiki::cfg{Ldap}{CharSet} = 'utf-8';

If you still would like to enable locales, then remove the -T flag from all perl scripts. You can't have both: locales and taintedness checks enabled in perl.

Locales in perl inject a lot of tainted strings coming from the system. As such perl isn't able to distinguish strings that rightfully should be considered tainted coming from the user.
