CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

i have a problem with NMS and "german umlauts" in the nms-frontend.

Umlauts (like ü) i write right into the template get parsed just fine and come out as their respective character (ü),
while still being ü in the sourcecode.

Text coming from the language file - strangely - gets treated differently.

When i use ü in the language file the & gets treated as a single character and not as part of the umlaut,
which results in a construct like this --> &uuml; <-- in the sourcecode.

When i use the umlaut (ü) in the language file i just get a tilted-square (dunno the english word) with a ? inside.

Could you push me in the right direction here pls?

Thanx, rtkd

also i noticed that umlauts in the confirmation emails are not displayed correctly (möchte = möchten)

i'd really appreciate any help on this and the above mentioned!

greets, rtkd

Have you tried to edit lang file manually?

Translation center converts all ü and similar to ü and so on - cant affected it as translator.

yep. i did.

i use homesite for coding so its just a matter of 5 secs,
but as mentioned above i just get a � when i do that (FEHLER - ung�ltige E-Mail-Adresse)

If you see that there's something wrong with encoding.

CMSms default encoding is utf-8. If you now use an iso-... encoding it makes trouble.

Please check it.

hi sry it took me so long to reply,

i switched back to utf-8, which got rid off the � but now i get this again --> ung&uuml;ltige <--

You got this output if you change "ung�ltige" to "ungültige" in nms modules de_DE.php ?

Ok, sry. I should have clarified this earlier.

1 = how its written in the lang file.
2 = output in browser
3 = sourcecode

(1) ungültige E-Mail-Adresse >> (2) ung�ltige E-Mail-Adresse >> (3) ung�ltige E-Mail-Adresse

(1) ungültige E-Mail-Adresse >> (2) ungültige E-Mail-Adresse  >> (3) ung&uuml;ltige E-Mail-Adresse

Can you add the results with different encodings on frontend?
