Pb with dispalying words and accents in Italian

Eldy, I guess it will be you answering :happy:

I have this strange issue as you can see in the picture, maybe you can help explain, probably has to do with some setting in my Firefox browser or else I don’t know

i can seem to represent on screen any word correctly that has an accent in it

felicità comes out as felicit(then garbage)

can you please help

No, problem is not you.

When the italian translation was made, language files were in ISO-8859-1 format (all other languages were UTF-8).
So we convert italian files to UTF-8 (Goal is having eveything in UTF-8)
but conversion was not correct and now (with 2.7.0) some language files for it_IT contains lines in ISO and some in UTF-8.
I fixed a lot of this files in last CVS version but there is still errors in 2.7.0.
Solution to fix is long (open language file with an editor that can edit UTF-8 files, then correct bad characters, then save as UTF-8). And this for each file.

Murphy’s law says that all serious pb are concentrated on it_IT (not lucky). Sorry. Reason is that we have a lot of user for spanish, dutch, french and other languages but few for italian; so this problem was not viewed during the beta of 2.7.

I hope a better result to “open” more massively the italian market with 2.7.1…

Eldy, thanks again.

BTW do you know of an editor that could do this remotly (open files via ftp) or would I have to work locally.

In any what editor would you reccomend???

You can do it yourself.
Download cvs version of dolibarr and get all files into htdocs/langs/it_IT/*.lang and put then into same directory of your production version.
It’s only language files so it is safe.
