I was runing XOOPS multilingual on a server and was working fine.
I had to change the server. appearently, the server's MySQL version was different and they had to convert my sql databases. now my site is up and running but in Spanish language all the fonts with accent are showing funny.
I don't know if this is anything to do with databas or not.
Please someone give me clue how i can fix the disaster happend to my site now.

check http://www.seccionlatina.com to find out what I'm talking about.

thanks

I donno if this will work but check with my earlier question which was answered by Teibaz.


Go to langauge/your-language-folder/global.php

Add the define('char', 'arabic-windows') or the desired non English WIndows Language Settings which must follow the specified names.

//%%%%%% File Name xoopscodes.php %%%%%
define("_CHARSET","Arabic-windows");
define("_SIZE","SIZE"); // font size
define("_FONT","FONT"); // font family
define("_COLOR","COLOR"); // font color


Hope that this helps:)



My site displays articles with Arabic fonts and the accent (reading signs) which previously was horribly displayed.

Now using Windows XP the problem disappeared, so it might because of the default PC language setting and the default fonts, and also webbrowser character encoding.

That's been fixed by changeing the sql server. appearently, the sql version wes not compatible.
