Decoding problem in posts preview body for non-lating alphabet languages

[dagg]

There is a problem in the left vertical list of the posts titles with the preview of the post body: The post body is not decoded correctly if it's written in a non-latin alphabet (For the Greek language in my case), as it is shown on my screenshot here.

The solution I have found and tested is quite simple though.

In the file frontend-app-discussions/src/discussions/posts/post/PostLink.jsx
at the beginning you have to import 'he':

import he from 'he';

and at the following line:

frontend-app-discussions/src/discussions/posts/post/PostLink.jsx

Line 99 in 2dafb6a

{isPostPreviewAvailable(previewBody) ? previewBody : intl.formatMessage(messages.postWithoutPreview)}

you have to decode the previewBody like so:

{isPostPreviewAvailable(previewBody) ? he.decode(previewBody) : intl.formatMessage(messages.postWithoutPreview)}

And that fixes the problem.

That's my solution but I guess there are other ways to deal with it as well...
