Accents and other characters in Spanish

Post by saronno »

Hello,

I have installed phpMyFAQ 2.6.1 in a Fedora box, selecting Spanish language during the installation. All the accents in the titles and menus show wrong, even if I select an installation in English and then select Spanish language (eg. Artículos instead of Artículos). My settings in Firefox are Character Encoding - Autodetect - Universal, and I also selected Unicode UTF-8. It does not work under IE either.

This is a header of the source:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="es" lang="es">

<title>phpMyFAQ Codename Portia - powered by phpMyFAQ 2.6.1</title>
<base href="http://127.0.0.1/grapeverba/" />

<meta name="Content-Language" content="utf-8" />
<meta name="robots" content="INDEX, FOLLOW" />
<meta name="revisit-after" content="7 days" />

The language in the Spanish template is:
$PMF_LANG["metaCharset"] = "utf-8";
$PMF_LANG["metaLanguage"] = "es";
$PMF_LANG["language"] = "Spanish";

When I have a look at the content of the language_es.php file in "vi", the content does not show correctly either, eg:
$PMF_LANG["ad_menu_categ_add"] = "Añadir Categoría";
$PMF_LANG["ad_menu_categ_edit"] = "Editar Categoría";
$PMF_LANG["ad_menu_news_add"] = "Añadir Noticias";

Is it something wrong with the translation file?

Cheers!

Hi Torsten,

Thanks a lot, I have downloaded 2.6.2 release and copied the Spanish language page and it is working now. There are some typos though and problem with a couple of variable names in the Configuration section, Spam Control. I am attaching an update where I have corrected these errors. Anyway something is not working with the Configuration section, as changes in the check boxes are not saved (I would like to get rid of the captcha check).

Cheers

Hi,

the issue with the non saved configuration items is fixed in 2.6.2, so please do a full update and not only of the language file.

I'll add your translation to 2.6.3. Thanks a lot!
