I have this versions of soft -

Action Pack version 1.13.3  
Action Web Service version 1.2.3  
Action Mailer version 1.3.3

My problem in code that contains string like this (with russian  
language) -

“привет мой друг”

gets this error in some other place, not where russian string:

app/controllers/sites/osp\_ru.rb:40: syntax error, unexpected  
tIDENTIFIER, expecting …

if I comment it - all ok.

Who can tell me where is a reason of the error?

Your description isn’t very… er, descriptive. Maybe it would help if  
you post a call stack.

It is particularly confusing that you say that your problem is in code  
with the Russian string, then you immediately say that your problem is  
in another place, not where the Russian string is.

I would post the call stack and maybe some code. What exactly do you  
comment out when it is “all ok”?

And some errors:  
app/controllers/sites/osp\_ru.rb:40: syntax error, unexpected  
tIDENTIFIER, expecting ‘)’  
frm.text\_field( :id, “o\_phone” ).set( post.c\_tel )  
^  
app/controllers/sites/osp\_ru.rb:41: syntax error, unexpected  
tIDENTIFIER, expecting kEND  
frm.text\_field( :id, “o\_fax” ).set( post.c\_fax )  
^  
(errors from line 40 to 58, the Russian string in line 39)  
If I comment this string, I don’t get an this error, all works fine, but  
I need some russian text in the code.
