A great plugin, works fine with Last.fm - but why is the config in scrambled German (the u umlauts look like &%¤# in UTF-8 ). Isn't there an update? I tried to translate the lang_de.inc.php file but it didn't show up anywhere.

Hi!

Hm, in the CVS there is a file in the UTF-8/ directory of the plugin, which looks like proper UTF-8 here! Can you check that file with an editor and make sure you save it in UTF-8 encoding? And that your editor does not double-encode the UTF entity?

ive looked over the code...and it seems to be just fine other than it being in German...but why is there a UTF-8 folder containing the lang_de.inc.php file when it is already in the original folder to begin with?

Because the file in UTF-8 subdir needs to be in UTF-8 encoding, and in the main directory it needs to be in ISO-8859-1 encoding.

Best regards,

ill get back to you to make sure its not double UTF-8 but in the meantime could you translate it to english i dont speak german...though luck helps me guess a few words here and there

I'm sorry but I don't have time for that right now; maybe you'd like to contact the original creator of the plugin or ask on the german forum if someone wants to translate it? I can commit the file then.

how can you tell the difference between ISO and UTF?

doesnt matter..i got it working

ill provide a screen shot of my mock up if that will help?

Hi!

Any decent text-editor can tell you the encoding. UTF contains 2-byte special characters, ISO only one-byte characters.

Sorry for the delayed answer! I have only a german .de file here in my UTF-8 folder and the other one too! Ach, verdammt!

David if you would like a screen shot so you know how to set it up ill be glad to provide it
