after installing chinese utf8 lang pack, zencart needs to change MSIE encoding?

[joecheng]

Hi,

i tried to install the chinese lang pack with utf-8 file, but i encountered some problem. can you help take a look?

problem: after installing chinese lang pack, i have difficulty opening the zen-cart web pages in chinese. Instead, it shows mostly unrecognized miscodes. however, the chinese lang problem from zen-cart web page is doing ok after I change the IE brower encoding to utf-8. The default code is ISO (western europe)

however, i notice that when i open your http://open.38.com/zencart, it shows chinese instantly and correctly. no need to do the encoding. can you give me some advice? it took me 2 days on this, and i still cannot work it out. Thanks a lot for your advice and your effort to come out with the lang pack.

FYI. I use xampp package with mysqq=4.1.7 and set the character=utf8 in the db for zencart.

cmd: mysql>show variables like 'char%';  => showing that below are all set to utf8 in my pc
 - character_set_client
 - character_set_connection
 - character_set_database
 - character_set_results
 - character_set_server
 - character_set_system

change both chinese_tc-utf-8.php in admin and client's charset to utf-8
if still doesn't help, you'll need to do a hard encode for your website to utf-8
if you're using apache, go to conf and set DefaultCharSet to utf-8
if youi're uisng iis, god knows how

Please try to add the following codes to two files, they are

appliication_top.php

both of theem located in
 ./admin/includes/application_top.php
 ./includes/application_top.php

In the end of the files add

程式碼:

<?php 
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=" . CHARSET);
?>

I have tried and solved this problem in two of my ZC and no need to config language encoding of the severs.
Good luck!

Bye,
