Hi there,

May be I will do the translation later but for now I am just look into displaying the body message in Vietnamese.
I can use Unicode (UTF-8) to post the message in Vietnamese but the problem is the display because the HTML header set the charset=ISO-8859-15
--------------------------------------------------------------
<head>
<title>FUD Forum</title>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15">
<script language="javascript" src="lib.js"></script>
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="forum.css" type="text/css">
</head>
--------------------------------------------------------------
Is there a way to set the charset=UTF-8 in the headers?

I look at the "Template Editor" under "Admin Control Panel" and under "header.tmpl" and the meta is set by this variable:
{META-CONTENT-LANGUAGE}. I am stucked there.

Please help!

Hmm, Look like it is hardcoded ???

Hi,
no it isn't hardcoded. Unless u specify a different language default is set to English. U may have noticed the location of the msg file which contains all messages the forum may spit out from time to time. in the same folder there's a file called charset. it keeps the encoding for the pages. if u change this to utf-8 it may already work. Search support for multibye characters has already been added in CVS (according to prottoss). In case u don't know the location it's
ur-hidden-directory/template/i18n/english/
after editing the charset file u need to recompile the forum to make changes take effect.

there's also an instruction on how to build ur own translation:

bye Ken

I can cheat by edit the file:
$DEPEND/forums/template/i18n/english/charset
and put UTF-8 there instead of ISO-8859-15

Is there a elegent way to do this?

Thanks in advance

Inside GLOBALS.php change the value of $CHARSET variable to the value you want.

Hi there,

Just upgraded to the newest version (2.2.1) and the option to recompile the forums gone.(?)
Also both links (Template Editor and Message Editor) brought me to the same page which is "Template Set Selection"

Regards,

Thai Nguyen

All right, the "recompile" is now under "Theme Manager" called "Rebuild Theme"
