Norwegian language file - error in encoding?

[andrez1]

Hello.

Installed cpg142 from fresh zip and use of Norwegian language file produce strange caracters.

If I open the norwegian.php in an editor (textpad 4.5 for windows) the file turns up as 'PC, UTF-8'

If i save that file whith  'ANSI' encoding everything is fine. It then turn up as 'PC, ANSI'. 

I guess that is the solution, but not sure on UTF-8 - stuff.

my guess is that you haven't set your browser correctly, you have to enable unicode (utf-8) or automatic selection. Hard to say without a link to your page. However, modifying the language file as you did might be a solution for you. Does the demo look as expected for you?

Demo is OK. very nice.

I also tested with opera 8.0 and Internet explorer 6.20, (on local install with danish and norwegian language files) is the solution to get a new/updated browser or? Any setting to try?

I try again.

Your norwegian demo-page display OK in Opera 8.0 and encoding set to 'automatic selection'.

Your norwegian demo-page display OK in IE6.20 and encoding set to 'automatic selection'.

But not on similar pages served from local machine.

What is different is web-server. I belive this is not a browser issue.  

I guess I have to look at server settings in apache and php on the local server.

I get "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />" on both local and your demo-pages.

I guess the browser gets information from web-server about content encoding, not only by reading html-page. If it only was by reading html-pages; it would not be an issue as the pages are identical.

Pages displayed with error in encoding - saved to disk - opened again - display OK.



coppermine from 1.32 - 1.35 have behaved very well on language, served from apache-php-mysql package  Xampp
http://www.apachefriends.org/ windows -version.

1.4 have never worked properly on (norwegian) language and the xampp package.   So this is maybe a windows-apache-php problem.

what's you charset setting in your browser?

Automatic on both.

We already fixed this error, looks like it got lost somewhere along the line.

Much better. It now display norwegian characters automatically.

But I am stuck with them, can not change back to english or other language...  If I go to configuration, I can not change language..

Clear your cookies. Marking as fixed.

Clear your cookies. Marking as fixed.

Done that. On both browsers.

Going to configuration menu to change language does not help, when updating; language does not change.

But going to the same menu allowing language list; update; go language list in main page and changing that; works.


So i think the fix produced another problem.

Andrez,
Try logging out.  Leave your site, clear your cookies and then return to your site, log back in, and set the default language.   It happened to me once before, but this cleared it up.

Tahnk you for this "hack" it run for me

[Davide Renda]

It doesn't work for me. It's in french and all "é" and "è" are shown as "?" and "�"
I've used this hack, but still no change. When running charsetmgr no change either.
Any idea?

PS. there's also a similar thread in the French board

@Lontano

What is your setting for "Character encoding" in Config?  That should remain at the recommended UTF8 setting.

Left as UTF8. I've tried changing to local encoding, but no result either.
I've also checked settings on my Firefox and everything is set to UTF8 too

Hello

I'v been clearing a lot of cokies since last..

I now belive the problem have two parts.

Whatever can be set and stored i cokies as language preference based on list-box on frontside: Works OK. With or without nibblers fix.

But changing, as admin, in 'configuration'-menu, language: Does not work. Broken with nibblers fix. (A fix which works ok on how utf-8 is displayed.)

The place to check if the 'cpg140_config' -table change the 'name' "lang" to 'value' "english" (or whatever chosen) or not when requested.

I would like to set language to norwegian and remove listbox and language-flags on frontpage. And i can not do that from config meny as long as the database not gets the message  'name' "lang" to 'value' "norwegian"

I can edit the database, thats so...
