spanish characters

[Torrevieja]

Hi all,

I have 3.6.8 installed in English and Spanish.

In spanish language, I have set HTML charset in UTF-8:

Admin CP -> Languages & Phrases -> Language Manager -> [Edit Settings] -> HTML Character Set

But when I read the forum with spanish languaje selected, I get errors in spanish characters "only in system phrases" ( not in content post or threads).

The errors are with:

á
é
í
ó
ú

Some idea??

Thanks.

Sounds like the original language was not made in UTF-8, so when you changed the charset in language settings, they're trying to display themselves in whatever other charset it was. You'll need to set it back to whatever it was, download the language, convert the file to UTF-8 (iconv if you're geeky on linux, else look for unicode text editor for your OS), and then re-import it back. You may need to do a file edit on ./includes/class_xml.php before you import the UTF-8, find:

function &parse($encoding = 'ISO-8859-1', $emptydata = true)

Replace with:

function &parse($encoding = 'UTF-8', $emptydata = true)
