Hello,
I am using:
the SmartFactory's - Multilanguages 2.0.4 Final
w/ XOOPS 2.0.13.2
Win 2k server / production on Linux
PHP 4.4.2
Apache 2.o.58 MySql 4.1.20.

And I have built an Interview publishing system around SmartSections, when I added it to my base code with the Multi-language branch it does not support Chinese.

I have 2 Big issues:

1. SS seems to truncate the Chinese text after about 4 lines from either (intro or body) input fields. (I have experimented with various input editors some work worse than others but none works).

2. The bit of schinese text it does get, it turns it to extended ascii rather than GB2312.

I have tried with 0 success the following:

1. Atempted to input text with the browser encoding set to all the obvious settings.
2. changed my database Collation to (utf8, latin & GB2312)
3. Checked the PHP config for mbstring (it is on)


I can insert the text directly into the db as GB2312 and that works but if the text is opende by SS, poop!

Seems I am out of luck here but I am open to some ideas and replacement ideas too!

Thanks for any thoughts!!!!
