Does Serendipity support Greek character set?

thanks in advance

Serendipity currently has no Greek language contribution.

But serendipity supports all character sets, even though UTF-8 is suggested. The character set can be specified in a language file, so there's no real problem.

Would you like to get involved in translating Serendipity to Greek? I could give you instructions! If yes, which charset does greek usually use?

Best regards,
Garvin

Garvin,

Greek language uses WIN1253 or ISO8859-7 encodings.

Regarding the translation, how big of a job would that be?

Okay, the ISO-encoding would be suggested. I can create a UTF-8 translation then.

The translation is not so hard: Just edit the serendipity_lang_en.inc.php file, translate the fields you want/need and save the file in ISO-8859-7 format as serendipity_lang_XX, where XX is the ISO language code for greek (gr?)

Then edit your serendipity_config.inc.php file and look out for $serendipity['languages']. In that array just add your language file and you can test-drive the file.

If then all looks proper, you can send the file to me and I can include it in the s9y distribution if you like!

Best regards,
Garvin
