How to set the locale on admin pages? - for Hebrew

Hi,

We went from ZC 1.2.5 to 1.3.8a. Among other problems we've encountered, the admin area displays Gybrish instead of Hebrew. On the frontend the Hebrew is displayed correctly. The data is correctly retrieved form the DB, I believe - If we change the encoding via the browsers setting, it is displayed correctly.

Is there a separate locale setting for the admin pages? Any clue will be appreciated.

Thank you,
Alon :smile:

Hi!

Locate your language file (something like english.php or hebrew.php) in admin/includes/languages folder open it with an editor and set the correct locale settings.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

I tried now to copy the locale setting from *includes/languages/hebrew.php *to admin/includes/languages/hebrew.php:

@setlocale(LC_ALL, 'he_IL', 'he', 'hebrew');

but still the problem remains. In the original 1.2.5 ZC it was set to the locale above. What am I missing?

Found the solution and would like to update for future use - set the encoding under the admin/includes/languages/hebrew.php as follows:

define('CHARSET', 'windows-1255');

Hi,

Open admin/includes/languages/hebrew.php again, and a few lines below locale (around line 62 for me) you will find ```
// charset for web pages and emails
define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

Change that to 'iso-8859-8'

I think that I was a little bit late :blush:.
Anyway, I'm glad you find it.
