UTF-8 Zen-Cart Tutorial for v1.3.x

[CrystalKoi]

I just did an install of this. I had to update one thing on the instructions. Changed the location of the language file for the Admin. I'm sure most people got that anyways.

I fallowed my instructions to see if I would get any problems, and all is fine.

Sorry and Good luck,

Hi

I resolved my problem by changing my server provider. So my issue was nothing to do with Zencart or MySQL. Sorry to confuse you all and thanks for your advices.

I think I have a couple of issues related to language encoding.. this seems the proper thread to ask.


I have English Zen Cart installed and then added the Simplified Chinese language pack, GB2312. Adding/viewing Chinese thru web browser is fine (product desc, categories etc)

But found a couple of issues :

1. The order confirmation (Chinese) text-email sent out can't display the product name (the line with the quantity /product name / product code). It shows something like:
1 x Ĉ 21; 421;Ŏ 57;È 04; 359;# 033; (AA3319) = $25.00

Other parts of the email shows chinese just fine.

2. The search function doesn't return any results if I search with chinese words (in chinese mode)

Bcos the database is in ISO-8859??

Is there anyway to rectify without reinstalling. Just by changing the encoding of the database?

Thanks.
