Anonymous For me here, till like this: Pon Wto śr Czw Piļ/td> Sob Nie

However it has solved the issue on one of my test sites...

See Here

Also going to add a feature request where there are multi pages in a forum to have the: << Start < Prev 1 2 3 Next > End >> to also be at the top as well as the bottom.

Aaargh, I had understood that you were getting English day names since the beginning! Now it looks more clear..

So the raw encoding provided by utf8.php does not work correctly - somebody should add a bug tracker item for this; it happens on PHP4 without any valid PHP function allowing UTF8 conversion

I have POLISH day names since the beginning, NOT ENGLISH. The encoding of Polish letters is wrong. For example it should be:

Screen

or like on trex1512 screenshot (different version of day names, but also good).

Looks like that I and Terry see the correct encoding. I am now sure that the problem is on the browser-side.

Can you please see what encoding is selected in (Firefox) View -> Encoding? It should be UTF-8 in order to see the characters

Please also try with a different browser. One fact is given for sure: Drake CMS does not send different encodings, it always sends the same UTF8 - which browser does not matter

Anonymous Hi,

The encoding in all 3 of my browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera) is set to UTF-8 as a default. So, results I've had (wrong encoding), and still have, are always created with UTF-8 encoding. I've tried also other encodings - no change.

I think it's more on server related problem (and LOCALE), than browser. On my local server (screenshot above) day names are being shown properly: Pn Wt Śr Cz Pt So N. On Terry's server (screenshot in Terry's post) different day names are shown, but they also are properly encoded: Pon Wto śro Czw Pią Sob Nie. They're different, but both are acceptable.

Here, on sourceforge, I ALWAYS have wrong encoding, I've tried with 3 DIFFERENT internet browsers and MORE people have reported that they can see wrong encoding (Terry for example).

'Feels like there is no solution' unsure

Anonymous I think I agree with stigi..server config or even server system versions

These are my results:

1. When viewing polish lang on drakecms.sourceforge.net, using IE and Avant on a Win XP box and using Firefox and Konqerer on a linux box, always: Pon Wto śr Czw Piļ/td> Sob Nie

2. When viewing polish lang HERE, using IE and Avant on a Win XP box and using Firefox and Konqerer on a linux box, always: Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun

3. When viewing polish lang HERE, using IE and Avant on a Win XP box and using Firefox and Konqerer on a linux box, before the changes as described in 1, NOW after updates etc Pon Wto śro Czw Pią Sob Nie

Anonymous Man, you are a genius! smileWhat have you done? Thank you very much!

Polish works (Pon Wto śro Czw Pią Sob Nie), Turkish also. The white line (spacer) is already fixed in SVN version (too long names for 'Previous' and 'Next' link).

Anonymous blinkNot really a genius, an idiot I'd say: I was using substr() to cut the day names to 4 characters, but I forgot that substr() is not consistent with UTF8 strings...

There's now a specific function to cut the string to 4 characters using regular expressions; fast and working as (almost) always smile
Thanks for having helped at individuating and fixing this nasty issue!

Anonymous Ok..

So now Polish langiuage is working correctly.

However when viewing Greek, Spanish, Slovakia language on drakecms.sourceforge.net, using IE and Avant on a Win XP box day names are always: Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun

Maybe the _LOCALE variable needs looking at for those language files.

Anonymous I agree.

Probably some of the _LOCALE values for languages with English day names (instead of their) are missing or are not set properly.

Anonymous For Greek language files common.php:
Code:

define('_LOCALE', "en\nen_GB\nEnglish");
define('_LOCALE_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE', "Europe/Athens");

Spanish:
Code:

define('_LOCALE', "en\nen_GB\nEnglish");
define('_LOCALE_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE', "Europe/London");

Slovak:
Code:
define('_LOCALE', "en\nen_GB\nEnglish");


That's why there are still English day names..

Anonymous Yep

Simple when you know what to look for eh? cheerful

Will have to leave it to the "official" translators of that language set and wait and see.

If they are not changed we/devs/etc will have to do it...

at least we now know the what and why......

Looks like the mantainers did not update their language files; I will tell to the Translators' coordinator, billyv, to send them an email on the translators mailing list.
