Can I ask why the following tag is included in the html?
Code: Select all
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
Doesn't this cause problems with encoding for some people if they are using a different encoding?

Hi Andrew,
if someone uses another encoding, then it is defined in the language file. Just look into the Polish language file, there's the east-european encoding set.

I am going to have some Polish translations of the entries as well as the english and german.
I think I will try just removing the meta tag
Code: Select all
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
line from the html pages to see if that works for everyone.
Do you have any experience with this?

If anyone is interested...
I have made the following change to the english.php file which seems to work for english and polish (so far!)
Code: Select all
//$metaCharset = "iso-8859-1";
$metaCharset = "Windows-1250";
