Problem displaying iso-8859-2 characters

Hi there,

first of all congrats on mojoPortal! Second of all, as I mentioned in the title, I managed to get my site partially translated into Slovenian (sl) with the files Resource.fr.resx and ProfileResource.fr.resx. The header links, some forms and buttons are displayed and translated correctly, however the HTML content, footer and title text do not show the special (Slovenian) characters correctly.

I didn't have such issues when I ran the installation locally on my machine so I figured it could be a server related problem but I checked the settings and they look ok.

I checked all the documentation and really tried everything so I decided to turn to you for help.

Thanks in advance and regards,

Rok

Re: Problem displaying iso-8859-2 characters

if you're saying the content that comes from the database is not rendering the characters, then you should check what encoding and collation is used on your database. You should use utf-16 encoding in SQL Server. Yo umay need to create a new database with the correct encoding and the use the new database, it may be difficult to fix an existing database.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Hi and thanks for your reply.

The solution was luckily much easier, I had to add the Charset=utf8; string to the user.config file.

I have to take back my word, someone actually had the same issue and it is posted on this forum so sorry for the trouble but your reply gave me the right pointers to find that post, so thanks again!

Regards,

Rok
