| Well, it's interesting. I don't know much about Thai characters, but for whatever reason that seemingly short title ends up being represented by a very long string in software. Unfortunately, the original code was written with some fixed-size buffers for the inputs and this exceeds the allowable size, so it is clipped to fit. The fix would be relatively straightforward, but I would need to get set back up for building source code on the target. I will consider that. As a note, your fix to move the English text up front didn't actually work. The Thai part is truncated. For now, we'll need to decide which is more important for the entry. Possibly use a romanized version of the Thai text. |

| I also did some searching check other Thai entries. Most use romanized titles. Those with Thai characters (with notes): 20584 Seems to be okay 21392 Thai title is in the body 24078 Thai title is in the body 25902 This is also truncated Obviously 25902 needs to be fixed one way or the other. |

I was aware that the Thai part had been truncated, but I decided to leave it with the English intact and searchable so that you could investigate. For the time being, I moved the Thai title off of the title line and into the description box and it displays correctly there. I don't know how much work you want to do on what seems a minor problem. It might be easier to just document that foreign character sets may not display correctly, and to put them into the description. |

Obviously not all have the tags yet, but pretty consistently the entries have romanized and/or English titles and sometimes the original characters in the body. For safety and consistency, I think that's the best approach for these couple of Thai entries. |
