donaldlp51 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 In a multi-language (Portuguese & English currently) the portuguese characters are not being recognized in the store header, box headers, or box content. Does someone have a solution for my problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Is your Portuguese language pack designed for osCommerce 2.3.1? The 2.2x versions had a different character encoding.

Regards Jim Jim - Yes, I have recently installed 2.3.1. It switches languages but certain special portuguese characters are not being translated and are replaced with a "?" character within a rectangle containing a black background.

♥kymation Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 That's typical. Check the version that your Portuguese language pack was designed for -- it's probably 2.2x. You'll have to convert it and reinstall, or find one that's designed for 2.3.1. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

donaldlp51 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Under oscommerce admin, tools, version checker, I am running 2.3.1. Heres my output. Version Checker Installed Version: osCommerce Online Merchant v2.3.1 This appears to not be the problem. I downloaded a language pack that I found here (traducao_oscommerce_2.3.1_v.1.1), but have not executed SQL statements because it appears after installing and uninstalling multiple times that I compound a problem that already exist. So, as a result, I have maually placed the portugues.php and language folders where they belong and here I am. Is there any other options that may be available? Your assistance is appreciated.

♥kymation Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I can't tell anything from the file name. Can you give a link to the page you downloaded from? If you ran the SQL more than once, you have duplicate entries in your database that will need to be cleaned out. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
