Description Mike Manilone 2012-04-29 10:07:05 UTC 
When I set a nickname "乱码" for a contact, it will always be converted to be like "乱码". Pidgin is okay.

Empathy 3.4.1

I just tested and it worked for me (with a gabble contact), what type of contact is it in your case (gmail, msn…) ?

GTalk. My own account is Jabber.
Comment 3 Mike Manilone 2012-04-30 05:57:26 UTC 
Well. More info: not only GTalk, but a Jabber account on another website, also bad characters.

e.g.: "水群" will be converted to "水群"
Comment 4 Guillaume Desmottes 2012-04-30 15:10:04 UTC 
Could you please attach dbus-monitor logs when setting your nickame?

Logs from dbus-monitor when set a nickname for contacts. It may contain some personal contents. 

Here it seems OK. But after I re-login, it will be converted. But Pidgin's are OK.
Comment 6 Guillaume Desmottes 2012-05-01 08:00:28 UTC 
Looks like Empathy is passing the right alias to Telepathy:
interface=org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface.Aliasing; member=SetAliases
   array [
      dict entry(
         uint32 18
         string "胡锦鑫"
      )
   ]


Could be a telepathy-gabble bug, please report to bugs.freedesktop.org.
