-Irssi 0.8.10 settings notes. Gathered through much effort by Rocco Caputo rcaputo at cpan dot org (aka dngor). Includes original work by Nei, and advice and guidance from irc.freenode.net #irssi.
+Irssi settings notes. Updated for 0.8.19.
This is not an attempt to document Irssi completely. It should be used along with the documents at [Documentation](/documentation) for more complete understanding of how irssi works. For example, the startup HOWTO and tips/tricks show sample uses for these settings, including some very useful stuff.

- Usage: SET TRANSLATION character translation table
-
- The TRANSLATION variable defines a character translation table. By
- default, ircII assumes that all text processed over the network is
- in the ISO 8859/1 map, also known as Latin-1. This is identical to
- standard ASCII, except that it is extended with additional
- characters in the range 128-255. Many environments by default use
- the Latin-1 map, such as X Windows, MS Windows, AmigaDOS, and modern
- ANSI terminals including Digital VT200, VT300, VT400 series and
- MS-Kermit. However, many older environments use non-standard
- extensions to ASCII, and yet others use 7-bit national replacement
- sets.
-
- Some available settings for the TRANSLATION variable:
-
- 8-bit sets:
- CP437 Old IBM PC, compatibles and Atari ST.
- CP850 New IBM PC compatibles and IBM PS/2.
- DEC_MCS DEC Multinational Character Set.
- VAX/VMS. VT320's and other 8-bit
- Digital terminals use this set by
- default, but I recommend changing to
- Latin-1 in the terminal Set-Up.
- DG_MCS Data General Multinational Character Set.
- HP_MCS Hewlett Packard Extended Roman 8.
- LATIN_1 ISO 8859/1. Default.
- MACINTOSH Apple Macintosh computers and boat
- anchors.
- NEXT NeXT.
-
- 7-bit sets:
- ASCII ANSI ASCII, ISO Reg. 006. For American
- terminals in 7-bit environments. Use
- this one if everything else fails.
- DANISH Norwegian/Danish.
- DUTCH Dutch.
- FINNISH Finnish.
- FRENCH ISO French, ISO Reg. 025.
- FRENCH_CANADIAN French in Canada.
- GERMAN ISO German, ISO Reg. 021.

- environments.

- ASCII hybrid.
- NORWEGIAN_1 ISO Norwegian, Version 1, ISO Reg. 060.
- NORWEGIAN_2 ISO Norwegian, Version 2, ISO Reg. 061.
- PORTUGUESE ISO Portuguese, ISO Reg. 016.
