Strange error changing the currencies in German language

Hello, if i set the language of my site to German and i try to change the currencies from the menu in the box, it loads a blank page with some strange characters.
What could it be?
My site is: http://footballmaniax.com

Nobody? :dontgetit

Thats only happening with your German language selection . I guess the best thing is , to copy that character that you see in the following page and use Developer tool kit in admin and search for it and see if you can find it in your German language files and look for reasons that being displayed ..

also "" is the Byte Order Mark (BOM) of the Unicode Standard. Specifically it is the hex bytes EF BB BF, which form the UTF-8 representation of the BOM, misinterpreted as ISO 8859/1 text instead of UTF-8.

Probably what it means is that you are using a text editor that is saving files in UTF-8 with the BOM, when it should be saving without the BOM. It could be PHP files that have the BOM, in which case they'd appear as literal text on your page.

In simple terms, what can i do? :dontgetit
Which could be the file to correct?

use developer tool kit in your admin to find that BOM .. once you do , then remove it from your file. it should be in your German language file ..
use text editor that wont introduce BOM in your files if is not UTF 8 .

i can't tell exactly where that is , scanning your site with developer tool kit should give you some idea.

If i search for "" with the developer kit i can't find nothing...

try to search for this with out quotation mark



i searched it without "" ...

Any idea? :unsure:

you can convert your zencart files and database to UTF 8 and problem solved , there is tutorial about this .. beyond that im out of ideas ..

hope someone will guide you through this better then i did ..

Where can i find this tutorial?

Also when i write in the php files some german letters like ßüöä they dont appear in the webpage. But this happen only in the german language. What about it?
Thanks.

This is tutorial to convert to UTF 8

back up back up backup :D

That tutorial says that i have to do those changes before to install Zen Cart.
Does it work anyway if i do it now?

And about the backup of the database. Do i have to just backup the database in phpmyadmin? Or do i have to do something in the admin area of Zen Cart?

Ok i found the reason of that error.
It is the character "~" that i wrote before some voices of a menu.
I don't know why but it gives those problems only with the german language.
