Serendipity Forums

Es gibt bei mir ein hartnäckiges Problem (seit Version 0.7.1 bis 0.8beta neueste) bei der Datumsausgabe, es betrifft den Monat März, der wie folgt auf allen Seiten erscheint: März. Alle anderen Umlaute werden korrekt ausgegeben. Wo und wie lässt sich das beheben? Vielen Dank schon einmal, falls jemand weiterhelfen kann.

If I read you correctly you have problems with the month March displaying incorrctly? (My german is only so-so). Have you checked the lang/serendipity_lang_de.php file?

You got it right: the german month name 'März' does not show up correctly. The output is März. I have gone through the lang/serendipity_lang_de.php file, but could not find month names there. Thanks anyway for your reply!

I actually expected that wasn't it. It seems like the code is, at some point, being read wrong. I experienced the same kind of problems getting flash to write dynamically loaded text as UTF-8 to include norwegian special characters when updating from a text-file a while back. I'm not enough of a coder to tell you where this is happening though.

Perhaps Garvin or one of the other devs can check it out.

It's definitly some UTF-8/ISO-LATIN-1-Problem. Maybe Garvin has an idea how to solve this.

All other umlauts seem to work correctly. Does anybody know in which file the month names are translated into the different languages?

Hi!

First off, are you using the bundled lang/serendipity_lang_de.inc.php file without any changes to it? If so, you are running a ISO-8859-1 site, which is proper.

The Month name is emitted by the PHP server and uses the locale set on that webserver. So the webserver uses a UTF-8 locale instead of a German ISO-8859-1 one. Please contact your system administrator and ask him to please installa ISO-8859-1 locale. Serendipity probers for those:

german, de_DE, de, de_DE.ISO-8859-1, de_DE@euro, de_DE.ISO8859-1

Here the URLs where the blog and info.php is :
http://blog.chpoc.net/
http://chpoc.net/info.php

but the other webblog, on the same webserver has no problem with the correct date/month, time - i don´t why...
http://blogger.chpoc.net/

Your webspace provider gave you a strange line what he has installed. The "q" stuff and so on comes from a browser and not a server.

Ask him which locales he has installed. It seems he didn't instead locales. Those look like: 'de', 'de_DE' or 'de_DE@ISO-8859-1'. Thus, completely different.

Without locales, you cannot get it to work, sorry.
