I'm trying to translate the language in the forum module but it is not accepting the accents.

Maybe there is some ISO or encoding I'm missing can someone help??

TIA

language files should be saved as UTF-8 without BOM header

Wow you are a fast one DJMaze

Please my intergalactical knowledge don't comprehend your unnatural speech. Please explain and show me an example.

TIA

It's me again I got it figured out here reading the sticker, but what is this BOM header stuff???

Is there an easy and fast way to make the UTF-8 conversion??

Tnx,

Lart

use an editor like notepad2 or ultraedit

www.ultraedit.com
cpgnuke.com/Downloads/...id=13.html

These support UTF-8 files which are no "normal" (ASCII) files but use binary data for special characters.
UTF-8 is supported in almost any browser and OS and it gives the ability to show a page in different languages at the same time.
ASCII only allows 1 language (ISO 8859-1 for example)

A good example is our home which shows different languages in the features list (if your browser doesn't support a language set then it shows questionmarks)

BOM header: is the first character of a UTF-8 file which is a recognition identifier so that a editor knows it's a UTF-8 file.
PHP can't handle that character so by saving the file without the BOM header the file is processed properly.

Thank you DJMaze it looks like I got a little work to do here :).
When I'm done I'll contact you to forward it, so you can add to the langage pack overhere.

Let me get this straight what file do I have to convert?? all the language files or the dump from the DB??

I'm testing here locally and is not coming trough. Can you help???

TIA,

Lart

modules/Forums/language/*.php has to be edited

I did exactly those files but they still don't come true in portuguese
Is there some sort of tutorial with the ultra edit?? I did convertion from OEM to ANSI is this correct???

Lart

Oh well!! :(

Back to the drawing boad (PHP-NUke) . It looks like this system is way beyond my knowledge I can't get this converdion stuff to work properly.

Thanks for the support anyways.

Lart

Convert: ANSI -> UTF-8

As i said: All is UTF-8
So get rid of ANSI, Unicode and OEM

You can give us your translations and we will convert the file to UTF-8 if you realy don't understand it.
