Asian Characters - Partially works?

Post by sboy »

I've been playing around with Serendipity, to get it work with Asian characters, and doing multiple installs (noted that if you don't expert install in Chinese first, won't let me change it later).

I installed using Traditional Chinese UTF-8, and found out that calendar months display correctly, while days display incorrectly in the calendar.

Does this happen with other people, or is it just me?

Hi!

On which kind of a server do you install? for displaying date names, the "locale" system of your server is used; for Traditional Chinese UTF-8 that would be "zh-TW.UTF-8, zh_TW.UTF-8, tw, zh" - so your system would require one of the first on your locale install to properly output the names?

HTH,

I'm in Taiwan right now, the server should be all set up for chinese (utf-8) [apache, mysql], and my other website works quite fine. It's a small deal right now since I am not going to be using the calendar. Seredipity is awesome! Thanks!

Hi!

Depending on your server the locale nmes could be different, so if you can check localegen for example if you server has any of the mentioned locales, that would be important.
