About faulty characters in email template (swedish åäö)

[Niklas]

Hi!

New here. I would just like to ask a question. I got 1.5.5f with Swedish translation. Everything works splendid with one exception.

The email templates. This is a example:

Detta �r ett automatiskt e-postmeddelande fr�n din Zen Cart butik f�r att varna dig om en f�r�ndring som bara gjordes f�r dina administrativa inst�llningar:

NOTERA: Admin inst�llningarna har �ndrats f�r [paypal] modulen, av din Zen Cart admin anv�ndare {Niklas[1]}.

Om du inte har gjort dessa �ndringar, �r det rekommenderat att du kontrollerar dina inst�llningar.

�r du redan medveten om dessa �ndringar, kan du ignorera detta automatiska meddelande.





The strange thing is that both front and backoffic shows the right characters. Also if i write something personal in the mail, it also works.. Like this. I wrote åäö and it shows.

"åäö
Denna epost adress har vi f�tt av dig eller av n�gon som anv�nt den i var webbshopp. Om du k�nner att detta mail har n�tt dig felaktigt, v�nligen kontakta oss [email protected]

Detta mail f�ljer de best�mmelser som finns i bland annat US CAN-SPAM Lagen 2004-01-01. Borttagningsbeg�ran kan skickas till denna adress och det kommer att respekteras."





What is the problem you think? Greatful for any help!

You might want to look at the second post in the similar threads below \/ \/ \/

If that does not do the trick, it could be your host's setttings. See the fourth post below \/ \/ \/

See this article that I wrote on the character-set "woes": https://vinosdefrutastropicales.com/blog/?p=309

I think the issue is that you're running your store with 'utf-8' characters for display, but your Swedish language translations are in ASCII text files.

Thank you!

My public_html/includes/languages/swedish.php is set to @setlocale(LC_TIME, 'sv_SE.UTF-8');

I know my server is UTF-8 and database should is also the same. I get quite confused about this since there are so many places to set language.


And I´m not sure how to check the email template? which file is that?

It is starnge since everything else works.. I will check your site, Thanks!

Your email templates are stored in the store's /email directories. You probably have an email/swedish sub-directory, that is where the "ASCII" templates appear to live.

I am extremely confused now. When I run this tool it says "Current DB character-set: utf8".


I found the file itself in "public_html/spenD-vwH-fIrst/includes/languages/swedish/email_extras.php


In this file it says like this (example)

"Denna epost adress har vi fått av dig eller av någon som använt den i var webbshopp"


And becomes like this:

"Denna epost adress har vi f�tt av dig eller av n�gon som anv�nt den i var webbshopp."


it does not matter if I use special characters like (exaple) "Utför nödvändiga ändringar"


The most strange thing is that in almost all other files these html symbols are used. Everything is good and showing åäö except this file.


How can this be?
