[HOWTO] Convert old ISO to UTF-8 for ICMS 1.1 How to convert old and unmaintained translations from ISO to Unicode UTF-8* * UTF-8 without Byte of Mark 1. U need editor like NotePad Plus, u can get it from http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/news.php?lang=uk 2. Open the selected file from modules\module-name\language\selected-language\thefile.php Now press CTRL+A for Select All, then CTRL+C to copy the selection into your clipboard, then pick the drop-down menu format, and select Encode in UTF-8 without BOM and press CTRL+V to paste it from your clipboard, then save it and re-upload it to your XOOPS 2.2/Impress 1.1 language folder. BUGS: If u click by mistake Encode in UTF-8 u will get blank page. OOPS core can't recognize UTF-8 encoded files. You can solve the blank page problem, by repeating the above procedure. If u do this for XOOPS 2.0.18.1, u will get everything else as symbols on your screen, but not your language :) If u wanna try this on XCL, feel free to do it and report any results :) The following procedure works on any XOOPS up to phppp 2.0.17.1, and there is no need to apply "USE MULTIBYTE 1" in your language\global.php. For OOPSes up to 2.0.17 (from 2.0.7.3), u simply have to set in global.php UTF-8 instead of ISO, and to add to your .htaccess the following line. PHP_FLAG default_charset UTF-8

Re: [HOWTO] Convert old ISO to UTF-8 for ICMS 1.1 I hate GUI which slow my works down. I usually use nkf to convert things to UTF-8 (without BOM) as following: $ cd /path/to/language/directory $ nkf -w --overwrite .php .tpl *.html iconv also can do the same task. Quote: $ iconv --help Usage: iconv [OPTION...] [FILE...] Convert encoding of given files from one encoding to another. Input/Output format specification: -f, --from-code=NAME encoding of original text -t, --to-code=NAME encoding for output Information: -l, --list list all known coded character sets Output control: -c omit invalid characters from output -o, --output=FILE output file -s, --silent suppress warnings --verbose print progress information -?, --help Give this help list --usage Give a short usage message -V, --version Print program version Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional for any corresponding short options. For bug reporting instructions, please see: <http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html>.

Re: [HOWTO] Convert old ISO to UTF-8 for ICMS 1.1 Nice addition, but I prefer Vista over Beryl and Gentoo, probably most of the users/devs and translators are on Windows eXtra Problems :)

Re: [HOWTO] Convert old ISO to UTF-8 for ICMS 1.1 There is a faster way to save the files of translation into UTF-8? ps: I am using Windows XP If not, I'm saving file by file, has no problem.

Re: [HOWTO] Convert old ISO to UTF-8 for ICMS 1.1 Try with this tool http://software.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=232511 Not verified for UTF-8 without Byte of Mark, the described way is more secure at least for me, slow but where should goes the fun then if everything is converted with one shot

Re: [HOWTO] Convert old ISO to UTF-8 for ICMS 1.1 Exelent Sugestion Quote: Overview: This is a conversion tool to convert from one character set to another within text documents. It supports 53 character sets, i.e. nearly all ISO 8859 character sets, all DOS character sets, most important Apple character sets and most of Windows character sets (non Asian). It is also able to convert from or to UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-16BE (Big Endian). It automatically detects UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-16 BE documents. Field of Application: 1. Convert documents based upon Windows ANSI character set (CP 1252) (Notepad) into corresponding ISO 8859-1 or ISO 8859-15 (if possible) 2. Converts Web pages based upon certain ISO 8859 character sets into valid UTF-8 documents which is recommended for new Web pages. Preferred operation mode is console mode now. Version 1.3.9.5 is a bug fixing release. I try now Thanks again.
