multi-language (Chinese) support

Permalink
I just discovered concrete5 last week and I love it. So far I have created 5 websites using concrete5. I like the webform feature. However, it seems that the questions I added in Chinese cannot display correctly. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

There is some Javascript that does not support multi-byte characters, including TinyMCE, Forms, and Survey.

Japanese version has the same problem as well.

We cannot input Japanese into the form title.

And the email notification does not encode the character properly.

Hopefully, we can fix it soon.

Anyone knows what is the latest situation with Chinese characters display on webpages?

I have just run into this same problem and it still does not work. As a result, I have just been inserting jpegs of the text I need and will have to wait until characters are supported.

I'm also waiting for Chinese support, specifically, to be able to paste Chinese characters from Google docs into an HTML form.

PS I'm running 5.4.1.1. -- if this is supported in later versions, please let me know!

The initial post is from 2009, I suspect the problem may just be in your database encoding.

I've attached a tools script that will change the collation of the database to support multi-byte characters.

You'd unzip this file and place it in your site's files at: [site_root]/tools/collation_change.php
then pull it up once in your browser at:
[your site.com]/index.php/tools/collation_change

then test your content, if everything is good you can delete the file.
