Internationalization RAWKS!

Internationalization RAWKS!

Silly little kewl thing that amused me today. Playing an MP3 by the Japanese bubblegum-punk pop-band that I know as Shonen Knife, and having it appear in my Audioscrobbler profile as ’”少年ナイフ”(Audioscrobbler :: Artist :: 少年ナイフ :: Statistics)’:http://www.audioscrobbler.com/music/%E5%B0%91%E5%B9%B4%E3%83%8A%E3%82%A4%E3%83%95.

I look forward to seeing how badly MovableType and RSS readers mangle this entry!

The only thing I've seen get it wrong so far is IE on the PC, which barfs on the TITLE tag tooltip.
