My JCal seems to have a hard time with the Swedish letters å, ä, ö. As you can see from the pictures below JCal sometimes does the work pretty well, sometimes not. I have installed the Swedish language script (in utf-8). In this case the "misinterpretation" of the Swedish letters perhaps is due to something else. In trying to solve the problem I have changed the spelling of the name of the days, but that has no effect at all.

I'm always grateful for help. Please have a look!

Exactly the same problem with the norwegian character set.

From my point of view this is because the Swedish index.php is saved in ANSI, not in UTF-8. Try to open the Swedish index.php in an editor and resave it in UTF-8 and it should all work.

There are still some minor issues with the minical which I am working on!

Anybody else agreeing that an update on the Swedish translation is very much needed? I think it's not up to standards with lot's of spelling and grammar errors...

I am working on updating it but don't know when it will be ready...

This is a problem for me to in danish, I don't have any problems in joomla so I can't see why it should help changing encoding on the index.php.

Still I tried but it did not help.

Are there any other things I can try, the calender really isn't much use if it can't display native characters.

###EDIT

Oh I get IT,.. its the files under the language folder in the component. Thanks heheh

On the minical there is a solution for it.

On the calendar component, it's just a matter of saving ALL files of the component in UTF-8.
However on the minical the problem lies on row 382 of modules/mod_jcalclient_minical/mod_jcalclient_minical.php

The function substr in

Code:

if($CONFIG_EXT['charset'] == "utf-8") {
if(preg_match('/(.{1,'.$max.'})/u', $string, $matches)) $new_string = $matches[0];
else $new_string = $string; // this state occurs if the string contains chars with mixed encodings
} else {
$new_string = substr($string,0,$max);  <----- See here (row 382)
}

must be changed to

Code:

if($CONFIG_EXT['charset'] == "utf-8") {
if(preg_match('/(.{1,'.$max.'})/u', $string, $matches)) $new_string = $matches[0];
else $new_string = $string; // this state occurs if the string contains chars with mixed encodings
} else {
$new_string = mb_substr($string,0,$max); <----- Change here(row 382)
}

Because this substr is encoding safe and uses the internally configured encoding.

It took me a while to find the culprit by now it works.... ufff

Thanks.

That was the only one missing here in Norway:-)

I have the same problem in french.
I changed the 'charset' => 'utf-8' line in the languages/french/index.php
I changed the line : $new_string = mb_substr($string,0,$max); <----- Change here(row 382)
Nothing has changed... it doesn't work.
I want to try something else : when you say "On the calendar component, it's just a matter of saving ALL files of the component in UTF-8." Can you explain ? How can I do that ?
Thx

[monzamonster]

I found a solution that works for me.
I had this row at the top of the main pages (example for french):

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR.utf-8', 'fr_FR','fr','fr','fra','fr_FR@euro');

I'd try with each page, then refresh... till it works.
AND IT DOES !!

I now have a a new Swedish translation update!

A lot of new strings translated, encoded with UTF-8 and corrected old spellingerrors and typos.....

Se my other post in this forum!

Cheers!
