Hi, I have looked through the forums but cannot find anything specific to my query. I am using zencart v1.3.9d and have language packs installed for Norwegian, Spanish and Portuguese.
These all seem to work fine but I am having a big problem with the character encoding.
Most of the system is "charset=iso-8859-1" however the spanish is "charset=utf-8".
In the spanish.php file the charset is set to utf-8 but to get characters to appear correctly i have had to change "á" to be "á" etc. this works for the majority of the general text such as menu items and store messages etc.,
When adding products to the catalogue I put in the english description, norwegian description etc. and these appear fine, but to get the spanish to appear correctly I have to put in "á" etc. in here aswell. The spanish then appears fine. This is when adding products into the catalog with admin set to english language. If i change the admin to spanish language I can type in "á" in spanish product description and it works fine but when I save the product to the cart the norwegian/portuguese characters such as "Ø" do not appear correctly and revert to words appearing like "V�re" instead of "Våre". So then I change admin to norwegian and adjust the characters, the norwegian then becomes correct but the spanish goes wrong again.
The only way I seem to be able to do it is keep the admin in the english language and add all products as normal, but for the spanish title/description etc. I must type in the full HTML encoding for the spanish characters.
There must be some configuration to the language setup that I can do to make this work, but I just cant seem to figure it out.
Any help and guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Baz
