Nordic message language

The PresidentThe President
edited December 2008 in Infoseek database
I have sifted through a few Nordic entries... Here are some corrections:

Prinsessen i berget det bl? has message language Norwegian.

Hado Basic has message language Danish.

Correct title is Observationsprogram and message language is Danish.

Correct titles are Le Fay's F?rbannelse and ?ventyr. Both can be found here (more Swedish stuff here and here).

    All suggested corrections have been made.

    These 2 adventures were already queued up for the next archive update, after a similar thread in the forums. :-)

    Sorry, missed that one. The titles are still wrong. :)

    I'm confused.... which titles are still wrong and what corrections need made?

    Um, you were aware that Infoseek doesn't use accents, yes? (you can successfully search with them, though).

    Argh! I am so used to mapping the transcription into the corresponding letter that I had not registered that. Having said that, the normal transcriptions are:

    Ä/ä/Æ/æ = Ae / ae
    Ö/ö/Ø/ø = Oe / oe
    Å/å = Aa / aa

    Hence, you can see both forms in used, i.e. with accents and transcribed.

    How about adopting ISO-646 for Infoseek? ;-)

    There has been a strong desire to start using iso-8859-15 for a while, allowing the general accents. I'll eventually get to this, after the ridiculously large backlog is squashed... perhaps somewhere next year (but no promises!)

    Tube Train Terror had a Danish re-release. The publisher, which is missing, was Graffiti wareSoft.
