GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 273720
Support for local names of contacts (e.g. name and its transcription to latin letters)
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:31:11 UTC
Evolution's contacts should be able to support alternate local/international names for contacts. This is specially important in languages which use a different script than Latin. For example, for an Iranian working with another Iranian and a British person, the Iranian would need the Iranian's name in both Arabic and Latin scripts, since he would prefer to communicate with the other Iranian in Persian usually (and quote his name in Persian), but in English when the British person is also involved (and quote his name in English).
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
