Does anyone use 4.0 with nonenglish characters?

[zkilzz]

I need to use the letters æ, ø and å. Its Norwegian.

I didnt find a charset tag in the language file, just this.

define ('VIVVO_DB_COLLATION', 'utf8_unicode_ci');

Changing 'utf8_unicode_ci' with the charset i suppose to use doesnt work.

Any ideas?

Vivvo uses only UTF-8 encoding.

UTF-8 has been around for years and is an industry standard supported by all modern operating systems and browsers. To the best of my knowledge 99% of characters you might want to use are in UTF-8.

If you are localizing your Vivvo you should use UTF-8 editor (we suggest you use Notepad++ for Windows or Kate/Gedit for Linux).

Note: Notepad++ you must use option to edit file as UTF-8 without BOM.

Mine is completely non-english website and it uses unicode char sets.

It is working superbly.

Same here. I need to use ä,ü,ö. i changed it to windows-1252 but nothing. still no change

You can't change it to Win-1252, it has to be UTF-8, but make sure to use editor that really has utf-8 support, and save file as UTF-8 without BOM.

Hey guys!
I solved it. I changed the æ, ø å letters with ascii æ, ø å. :)

use the language file in LANG dir, make a copy of it, open and edit with any text editor (or RAPID PHP), rename to danish.php and upload again. ajust settings in Preferences. its only about 340 lines or so, should be done in 1-2 hours

this works - but if you have already translated you should FIRST replace ALL your å's with 111111, æ's with 222222, and ø's with 333333. THEN set edit file as UTF-8 without BOM, and replace all 111111 with å's - and so on ....

and offcourse you use find and replace all (make a few copies of the language - it will save ur butt if you make mistakes).

if not, the editor makes a mess out of all characters behind the one you wanna change.
