Description

Intro & Environment:

  • Italian language selected
  • Tikiwiki 3.1


Issue:
Many words in our Tikiwiki appears with strange characters instead of accented characters or special ones.

Analysis:
I looked for the /lang/it/language.php and:

  • I opened it with the vim on my server
  • I opened it with Notepad++ on my notebook using various codification (utf8, ansi, UTF8 without BOM, UCS2....)


The result was that the accented words or special char words are always not matching the right codification.

For example, I find
"blog_ranking_top_active_blogs" => "blogs_classifica_blogs_pi�_attivi",
instead of
"blog_ranking_top_active_blogs" => "blogs_classifica_blogs_più_attivi",

I tried also to download the 4.1 version, the zip version and also the tar.gz one.
The result was the same.

Solution

For me the workaround is quite annoying: checking all sentences in the language.php and correct them.
I'm starting now. I dont how much it will cost in terms of time.

There's some other solution?
The solution was found yet? I tryed to look for it but nothing seems to me related with this issue.
