There was just a typo.....: https://github.com/goldsky/YAMS/issues/1
protected function Initialise() {
  YamsUtils::$itsUTF8Modifier == $this->itsEncodingModifierMode;
}

This is great, it's working perfectly now ! Thanks a lot !

Glad it now works with the latest version of Evo (1.1).
I have at least 15 sites live running with YAMS and very pleased its there.

I am using it since years myself and I am very happy. Found and fixed the encoding issue.

I'm working with YAMs and I can say that it's very powerfull. The latest version is stable and if you go deeply into YAMs you'll be able to get a full multilingual site without having to dive into the html code. (You need to think about your site structure before though).
I do every multilingual part (buttons, forms, snippets returns, links etc) using multilingual docs and YAMS snippet calls or Yams placeholders.

hi,

funny i was coming to say the same thing

the fact i should have a close look at modx install too as it comes with clearly French utf8 or French, the same for one or two other languages but not for English... don’t know if it what makes YAMS behave like you describe (besides the fact that yams.class.inc.php comes as an iso file and not an utf8 one what could be a resaon for a misreading/outputing files that are used through it)

as soon as i have some time to check this i will have a close look at it as i going to use YAMS + Evo quite heavily those coming... months

I think there’s something funny going on in this function

    //----------------------------
    // itsEncodingModifierMode
    //----------------------------
    $contents .=
      '  // The encoding modifier.' . PHP_EOL
      . '  // \'manager\' means use the manager setting' . PHP_EOL
      . '  // \'u\' if webpage content is in UTF-8' . PHP_EOL
      . '  // \'\' otherwise' . PHP_EOL
      . '  $this->itsEncodingModifierMode = '
      . YamsUtils::AsPHPSingleQuotedString( $this->itsEncodingModifierMode )
      . ';' . PHP_EOL;

No problem with the front-end, it’s only with reading/writing that YAMS config.inc.php file. At first I thought it must be some odd setting in my PHP or something, but it works fine via the Manager’s File Manager, and with my text editor and FTP. Only when YAMS reads or writes to it, YAMS insists on using latin-1 for it. And it’s not a problem at all with version 1.1.9. There is a change in the code to using some PHP multilingual function or another (I forget what it is now), but it was getting too involved and I did need to get the site working, so I gave up on trying to pinpoint exactly why it’s doing that.

this is funny as YAMS config checks the charset used in the manager to use the same for the front end then if the manager language is set on utf8 when installed it should work !

got to check this as i’ve a website coming to be done in five languages including ltr ones (arabic)

It’s only the config file for the YAMS module that does this, making the module unusable in any but latin-1 languages (French is fine).
