Hi
 
I'm testing free edition and trying to see how is this looking with translating static massages into our "slovenian" language. Our language has some special characters which wouldn't appear in front end.
 
Where can I change support for displaying local language characters?
 
This free edition I'm running on XP with Apache.
 
Regards

Hi
 
I had somehowe found solution for this by my self.
 
in language folders /messages/en
(or any other subfolder like "ar", "cs", "de", etc)
 
i have opened file messages.php and in changed first defined variable:
 
define("CHARSET", "iso-8859-1");
 
to
 
define("CHARSET", "utf-8");
 
All specific chars of our local language is now working all over site.

Since there were no reply from support team I will add additonal experience from my side.
 
I have started editing content on files which are located in folder /messages/en than I have corrected above setting regarding charset.
 
But error reappered when I started using Dreamweaver 8 as editor which somehow changed document encoding to another coding. Even when I have wented to the menu Edit/Preferences/Fonts and set there Unicode he destroyed local encoding.
 
So I switched to the Adobe GoLive CS2 and there if fine setting which actually works...menu Edit/Document Encoding....
 
I have tried also some other PHP Editors but problem didtn't chagned. From now on I will stay on GoLive...
 
BTW...I'm testing localization on Demo Edition....on XP with Apache...
