Hello.

I downloaded the Czech translation. In the preamble in the file it says it is Latin1 but it actually is Latin2 - I found out when trying to iconv it to utf-8. I succeeded and put the file in the manager/includes but it does not show as an option on my scroll down of languages. WHat did I do wrong ?

You have to put it in /manager/includes/lang/ is what happened wink

It should work. Encoding depends on which encoding you selected when saving the file (TextMate or TextWrangler for Mac are good options, PS Pad for Windows is nice too).

This I am not so sure of. If my site is UTF-8 and the language file is Latin, who will do the "translation" from one encoding to the other?. Any way, I will try and report.

I have tested it. The language-inc-php file encoding must be the same as the site encoding.

Yes it does.

And that’s why it’s safer to use the tag for the charset :

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=[(etomite_charset)]" />

Safer than what huh

I always use it in my HTML output. Anyway, the problem is really solved:

1. The Czech include file, downloadable from this site is Latin 2 and not Latin 1 as it says in its comment
2. Any language include file must be in the same format that one wants to serve

I will try to translate the rest of the file and correct the typing errors and than offer it here.

Thanks you for your help.

It’s safer to use the tag because you can’t go wrong and have different charset in front and bakckend is what I meant
