Spanish Language Problem

[hbalagh]

This seems to be a common problem with languages other then english, this site is not owned by me but im working on it.

We can get the post to display correctly but then the phrases in the templates do not display correctly then if can get the phrases to display correctly the post will not.

the db collation is latin1_swedish_ci

having the html characters set to ISO-8859-1 in the language settings makes the post ok but not the phrases

switching it to UTF-8 makes the phrases correct but not the post

how can i fix this (explained easily lol)

Uncomment this line in your config.php file:
// $config['Mysqli']['charset'] = 'utf8';

Set the language to UTF-8 in the Admin CP.

I am having a similar issue although mine is reversed.
Setting language in CP to UTF-8 messes up the phrases but not the posts and setting it back to ISO messes up the posts and not the phrases.

I tried uncommenting the line // $config['Mysqli']['charset'] = 'utf8'; in config.php and I got a Content "Encoding Error" on my browser

My DB collation is latin1_swedish_ci

Please help

I only need to correct accents. They are currently displaying as �

Did you ever get a fix for this?

I'm having the problem of adding 3rd-party content to my page as the language is set as ISO-8859-1. When I change that to UTF-8, my "extra content" displays properly, but then some characters end up not displaying correctly.

Uncommenting that line in the config file seems to make everything work at first glance. Could there still be problems I am not noticing? The column types in the database are latin1_swedish_ci

Thanks!
