What is wrong in pro 1.2 i have this Problem ---Auktionshäuser---

Welcome to our forum, ines seefeldt. Have you changed default charset for pages to German charset?

Hi,

couldn't that not be all just all UTF-8 ... ?
That would handle chinese, Thai etc.

How and where should that be done?
I guess "default charset for pages"?! But what is the name of the German charset?

... sorry for my ignorance ...

I tried the general UTF-8 khunjack suggested, amd that destroyed the look of my admin-panel (obviously because my site-title had used a "ü", too). Ok, changed that title, and then it worked...
... but not for the words I am using in the language file, just see my "under comstruction page":
ok for:
http...
not ok for:
http...

Obviously stuff in the language files must also be charset-treated, but somewhere else?!
Any ideas?

Greetings,
Lars

Hi Lars! Had you solve your problem, as I can not see any problems at the pages you provided?

sorry, the link-suggesting function was locked at the time you have been looking at the page, and there you can see the problem:

At
http...
Internet Explorer is showing:
noch verf? Zeichen
and Mozilla:
noch verf�gbare Zeichen
instead of:
noch verfügbare Zeichen

These are phrases which are translated in the language file.
I am not sure if I have to use another charset code than UTF-8 and/or if the language file has to be treated seperately.

Lars

Ok, I see now your problem... please give me your ftp credentials and I will take a look at your language file.

Just sent via private message.

Hi lsb, take a look now:

The only thing I did - opened your language file with Notepad, changed this symbol with correct one and chose Encoding UTF-8 instead of ANSI and then uploaded it again to your server.

Life can be that easy
Thank you very much!

Ok, to sum it up:
You get correctly displayed characters in German language (ü etc.) within eSyndicat when you
a) use UTF-8 as charset in the admin controll panel
b) use UTF-8 as charset for the German language file when saving it
