Any ideas? I still can't figure it out..

The generated html that arrives in the browser says it is 8859 encoded.

The page title text comes out of the database and is utf-8 (change the browser expectations, FFox View-Character encoding to utf8 to show it correctly).

However your product descriptions are 8859 as these go wrong when you change to utf-8.

So the data in your database is in different character sets.

Have you just upgraded to Zen Cart 1.5?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm with 1.3.9h.

If I change my database to 8859, it should solve the problem?

BTW,

I checked today, and when opening a product, with accents in the product name, it shows without any problem in the title. Just the same "generic" title that is used for all the pages can't be seen correctly.

It looks as though the text in your database is 8859.

The common title comes from the language file.

Open your french.php or /YOUR_TEMPLATE/french.php if you are using it, with something that can show the encoding like Notepad++ and check the file is encoded as ANSI and not UTF-8.

If it is UTF-8,
copy all,
cut,
change encoding to ANSI,
paste,
save.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

According to the phpMyAdmin, I get the following info - )MySQL connection collation Documentation - utf8_general_ci) and (MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8))



I took the /includes/languages/french.php file and did as you suggested, (it was ANSI as UTF8) converted it to ANSI, but it still doesn't work.

Thanks!

WORKED FOR ME THANKS!!

Little note: I did not have to copy and save as new file, as the last version of notepad allows to change encoding in the menu.
