hallo there, i'm using XOOPS 2.3 final and trying to make a translation in utf encoding! If i change the translation file's encoding to utf a white space is showing on top of the page (right above the header) in older versions i used to see some weird characters. any idea why this is happening?

furthermore the captcha image is not showing when the captcha.php language file in turned into utf encoding.....(it only shows it instantly and then disappears...)

i am also getting problem of not being able to post chinese characters in my site.

i dun understand this

Quote:

Modify /languages/yourlanguage/global.php to use existent _CHARSET value if it has been changed to UTF-8 in your new global.php file as

define('_CHARSET', 'UTF-8');




I change the 0 to 1

Quote:

//%%%%% LANGUAGE SPECIFIC SETTINGS %%%%%
define('_CHARSET', 'UTF-8');
define('_LANGCODE', 'en');

// change 0 to 1 if this language is a multi-bytes language
define("XOOPS_USE_MULTIBYTES", "1");
?>

i went to mainfile.php

and replaced the
define( 'XOOPS_DB_CHARSET', 'utf8' );
to
define( 'XOOPS_DB_CHARSET', 'ISO-8859-1' );

and now it works and able to post chinese characters. but are there any consequences ?

i think my problem lies to xajax! i noticed that the module that i made (which is using xajax) is having this kind of behaviour with the utf-encoded files! all other parts of the site seems, repeat seems to be working. Anyone has any idea?
