These examples is ok.
But if you can see on translations server
Login as test1 and see:

LESSONNAMEWITHGREEKΦΨΩΝΟΓΑΦΑΛ (FROM UBUNTU CLIENT)

The problem is that you are not able to write in Greek a sequence or a folder name from an ubuntu client.

Ahh... OK, I see now. I have managed to reproduce this. It is really weird because if I set the keyboard to English, then I have no problem pasting Greek characters. However, once I switch the keyboard to Greek, that's then the problem occurs.

Spyros, do you know if this is happening in Windows as well?

I've been looking into this for the past few minutes and it doesn't seem that the problem is just with LAMS though. Have a look at this flash form on the web:

Can you enter Greek characters properly on it?

Thanks,

Ernie

Hi Ernie,
Exactly, that's the problem. It occurs when you have switched the keyboard to Greek.
In windows clients it is working very well.

The problem exist only when you extract the portfolio.
When sequence name is in Greek the proposed zip file name of the portfolio has problems. Please see and this issue.

Thanks

Spyros
