Administrators Thanked: 9 mal	Make sure the file is UTF8

Donator	In admin>skin localization it is set to UTF8 Whats weird is that if i use ÆØÅ in the site and not in the TPLs it works but when i put it in the TPLs it just becomes a ? Nevermind just had to save the actual file with that encoding

Team Thanked: 1 mal	Yep, as Kilandor said, you need to have all skin files encoded in UTF8. If you havent done this already you can use either of the two solutions in this topic http://www.cotonti.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=2118&n=last#bottom <a href="http://www.domenlo.com">Surreal Art</a>

Donator	Thanks for all the info! But why doesnt this work in the language files? When i use "ÆØÅ" in the language files the layout gets all messed up in IE but looks fine in FF.

Donator	# Lombi : Did you encode the language files? Yes i did, works fine now in the TPLs but not in the language files...

Team Thanked: 1 mal	Can you give me a URL of the problem live? Please doubleckeck that you have encoded ALL the language files correctly - the system ones, skin ones as well as the plugin ones. <a href="http://www.domenlo.com">Surreal Art</a>

Team Thanked: 180 mal	DemptD: To avoid problems with national characters you have to make sure that: 1. All language files (main, skin, plugins) are encoded to UTF-8 (without BOM) 2. All TPL-files where you use national chars are also encoded to UTF-8 (without BOM) I would recommend that to you do not use Notepad for encoding. Get yourself NotePad++ or some other decent text editor. SED.by - создание сайтов, разработка плагинов и тем для Котонти
