Hi Kyle,

Thanks a lot for your reply. Please help me furthur in this.

I want to insert an Event in Google Calendar with Description/Content as
"松本真司 &&&&". Now, how should i decide whether this
is an HTML or text programmatically?

Should i set the "type" of Content element as "text/html" everytime and
HTMLENCODE it by default or any other way ?

For data in the API, you should not HTML encode the input data unless the "type"
attribute of the title and content is "html". If you haven't set type, the
default value is "text", per the Atom syntax spec (RFC4287). The gd:where
element attributes don't have a type and are always considered to be text.

For GData to be able to properly interpret encoded characters in your data, you
need to provide appropriate signals about the encoding. The character set
encoding of data sent via the API is determined by one of two things: the value
of the charset attribute of the HTTP Content-Type header or the value of the
"encoding" attribute on the <xml> declaration. If both are present, the HTTP
header is considered canonical. If neither is present, the default is "utf-8".
See [1] for more details and some examples.

Hope this is helpful,

I am facing some international characterization problem with Google API.

I created a Google Event with Title = "Planeringsmöte för ansökan VR 20/3 kl 18.00 ca" and Where = "Planeringsmöte för ansökan VR 20/3 kl 18.00 ca" and Content = "Planeringsmöte för ansökan VR 20/3 kl 18.00 ca "

I did an HTMLEncode on these values of Title, Where and Content before
inserting in Google

Now the event is sucessfully created at Google but with a problem. When i see
the agenda or any Week/Month view etc. these characters are being rendered as :

"Planeringsm&#246;te f&#246;r ans&#246;kan VR 20/3 kl 18.00 ca"

but when i go to edit this event, the Title and Where seems corrected to
"Planeringsmöte för ansökan VR 20/3 kl 18.00 ca" but whenever i switch to any
other view i again see them Encoded.

Please help
