Dear xoopers.. Long time no see.

I have been working very hard on our non-profit website http://www.english2day.com and its come along way!

Partly due to Marcans amazing help to us!

We ran into a big problem just now, we use multilanguage module from marcan and it works fine! BUT the Japanese characters or the chinese characters in the XOOPS parts dont show up correct.. check it out http://www.english2day.com

When I make a block and type Japanese text it will show up perfect no problem, but when I change to japanese the things like

User Menu View Account Edit Account Notifications etc

are not correctly displayed in Japanese (they are when I select english french or spanish) but with Arabic, Japanese and Chinese it becomes non-sense!

Please someone help us!

Your character encoding seems to be messed up.

AFAIK, all Japanese text in XOOPS expects EUC-JP encoding, the source HTML on the pages of your site show that SJIS encoding is being used. I am not sure how to do it, but if you change your site encoding to EUC-JP, I am quite sure that your problems will be gone.

Good luck!

ANYONE knows how to change the encoding?

Got a reply to a similar question from chado

I can confim that that will indeed change the encoding although I am still not 100% sure at all about EUC being the asnwer, we are using Shift-JIS right now and it seeeeems to work ok...anyway, please give it a go.

To clarify,
I also changed the language to 'ja'

AGain, sorry, I am not sure if this helps or not, but so far it has worked for postings on the bulletin board (newBB2) and also a dictionary module and the 'Tutorials' module....
