Re: [Phpslash-devel] How to translate

[Peter C. <li...@cr...>]

Mmm, not sure PSL will work out the box with non-latin alphabets.

Things to think about:
- The template needs to have charset=utf8 meta tag added so the browser 
knows what it's looking at
- You need to make sure that webserver isnt sending the wrong charset 
info (many apache installations set it as some western charset - I 
can't remember the apache tag name right now, sorry)
- You need to make sure that the MySql tables have the correct charset 
and collation values set for the text fields

And then there's the text processing side of things - on your website, 
it looks like PSL is applying htmlspecial chars irrespective of 
charsets.

As for saving UTF-8, that should be an option in your editor. What 
OS/Editor are you using?

If you want to work with a PSL-based app, it might be worth looking at 
Back-End <www.back-end.org>: we reworked it last year to deal with 
Persian, which involved resolving many of these issues (and 
right-to-left text too). Back-End is multilingual and allows explicit 
definition of charsets for each language.

Not good news maybe, but HTH
