Editing "lang_portal.php" in another language

[kalamar]

Hi everyone!
First I would like to thanks the staff of board3 for this great job

I would like to translate the portal in my language (french), so I've added the following code in "index.html" and "overall_header.html":

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ANSI" /> 

and I also edit all the files in ANSI. The problem is that special characters (é,à. è, ï.....) aren't displayed (there is a small logo instead).
I've read the topic concerning this : viewtopic.php?f=24&t=556 , but I've not understand what I should do to fix this problem.

Thanks a lot and I apologise for my english

Hi kalamar,

... I've read the topic concerning this : viewtopic.php?f=24&t=556 , but I've not understand what I should do to fix this problem ...

In the topic you've mentioned it's explained like this:

The solution here is an editor, which provides the ability to encode the php-files correctly as "UTF-8 without BOM". Such an editor is for instance "Notepad++".

This means that you have to use an editor (NOT Windows Notepad for example), that provides the ability to save files in the correct format "UTF-8 without BOM".

An editor matching these requirements is for example "Notepad++" which is freeware (and a french lang pack is available I think ...).

You would edit language files as you like (with special french characters) and save them with their correct name and in the correct format (UTF-8 without BOM).

Additial Info:

You can Notepad ++ download here:

This links to the Site from Notepad++ in french language.

Don't vergot to set the FORMAT to UTF-8 without BOM.
