Hi,

I'm considering to build a Chinese web site with C5, but it seems like it doesn't support Chinese very well. i created a trial site on c5 host, the Chinese content didn't display correctly in the pages.i then search the forums and find someone said that C5 has weakness at Chinese support.

Is that possible to build a Chinese site with C5(or c5host)? any comments will be appreciated, thanks.

John

I'm doing a site just now that has multiple languages and was having problems getting the chinese characters to be accepted by my database. I changed the collation to utf_general_ci in phpmyadmin but the problem was it didin't change individual fields so didn't work.

I then found this script which i placed as a php file in the root of my website and ran it.

Please make sure you backup your database before trying it and if it goes wrong then you can restore. If you don't backup you might lose everything!!!

The script worked perfectly for me though.

Wasn't there a Chinese language version of the site in 'How did they do that' on last week's Totally Random web show.

Yes, they also mentioned my new block which I didn't realise until you mentioned this video, so cheers, much appreciated.
