Problem with Finnish character display Edit Delete Reply with quote Quote
First Post Posted on: 11-25-11 10:12 AM next post first post
I had this problem before. It was solved; it has occurred again. I have checked that the solution that was implemented the last time has not changed. I don't really know the source of the problem. The 2 characters ("Ä" and "Ö") don't display properly: \ \ The solution found before is\ \ - I added an .htaccess file to the /public_html, which contains:\ * AddLanguage fi .fi\ * AddCharset ISO-8859-1 .iso8859-1" \ \ - I also added the code page below to the html\ \

\
meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="fi">\
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">\

\ \ Is there any Scandivanian users (Denmark, Sweden,Finland and Norway) to tell me how they set the character sets?\ \ This problem is very annoying. Please help. Thanks in advance.

You set your meta Content-Type to charset=windows-1252, this is the default english, you should set it to the Finnish langage char set ISO 8859-1, so modify this met tag line to be:

meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso8859-1

\ \ Some hints:\ \ I found out that when I replace the General.pm language file with a backup, everything is fine. But when I add a new language variable to Finnish language file, improper display of Finnish characters appears.

Then the problem with your editor, you should download/upload the language files in ASCII mode, also you should edit the files with text editor if you edit it direct on your computer.
