Swedish characters

[Tippler]

Im new at osC and hope for some help.

 

I have installed osc on my Linuxserver, Apache 2.2.3 (Debian), MySQL 5.0.32 och PHP 5.2.0.

 

Installation works fine, but when i installed module for swedish characters (Swedish language for 2.2 MS2 (all-in-one)) all swedish specialcharacter just displayed at a scuare and i cant understan why.

The Swedish language contains characters which do not exist in the iso-8859-1 (Latin 1) Character Set, and osCommerce is configured to use iso-8859-1

 

For example, in includes/languages/english.php you'll see:

 

// charset for web pages and emails

define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

 

Your Swedish language pack must be configured to use utf8, and all pages within the includes/languages/swedish/ folder must be opened and saved in a plain text editor configured to use utf8.

 

Your phpMyAdmin and MySQL default character set must also be utf8

Hello,

 

Since å ä ö turns into "?" in for example Swedish reviews, I need to fix this. I just want to make sure that I understand you correct. I need to:

 

1. In includes/languages/swedish.php change:

 

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'sv_SE.ISO_8859-1');

to

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'sv_SE.uft8');

 

define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

to

define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');

 

2. The same in admin/includes/languages/swedish.php ?

 

3. All pages within the includes/languages/swedish/ folder must be opened and saved in a plain text editor configured to use utf8.?

4. I don't need to make any changes in includes/languages/english.php? It can still be: define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1'); etc?

 

Thanks!
