Special/International characters displayed wrong [SOLVED]

Using the included spanish file that comes with Evo 1.0.0, I created another user and logged in fine. Saw all the spanish language strings as I should have. I’m stumped, but you definitely shouldn’t need to convert any files in Notepad++.

Thanks for all your help Opengeek. Did you try logging in with the English user, creating a Document with a title containing international characters, and then logging in with the Spanish user to see if those chars display right? It just doesn’t work on my end.

It’s already known 1.0.0 (bug?)
http://svn.modxcms.com/jira/browse/MODX-1095

Is it what you need?

Paprikas: Thanks a lot! That solved my problem!

I downloaded the file evo_manager_spanish-utf8.inc.php, placed it under manager\includes\lang and renamed it to spanish.inc.php. And then all users were able to see special chars with no problems. I noticed that these files (patches) were published on JIRA on august 14th so it makes sense why this bug is not solved with Evo version 1.0.0 which was released on July 30. Just one question: How did you create/obtain this evo_manager_spanish-utf8.inc.php file? I tried converting the original spanish.inc.php to UTF-8 with Notepad++ but after logging in all I got was a blank page with 

Thanks a lot!

Open file in "smart" texteditor (Notepad++, Akelpad)
I prefer Akelpad. If characters looks bad, open file AS -> choose different encodings until you get what you want (spanish was encoded with ISO9). Then "save as" with UTF8 encoding without BOM.

Paprikas,

Thanks a lot for all the instructions. I downloaded Akelpad, followed every step but I was not able to re-create a correct file (I worked with the original spanish.inc.php that came with evolution 1.0.0, I’m attaching this file).

Thanks anyway!

Don’t worry. Look at this video, I use original spanish file from EVO 1.0.0 (installer only, may be manager differs).
