Hi,

I've deployed an inter-village message board as part of a volunteer project in Nepal. (See coe.unk.edu/nepal or http://www.nepalwireless.net) Currently I used mwForum because of my limited experience with E-Blah. But one major shortcoming is that the villages must post in english and not Devanagari (Sanskrit). What I really want is to be able to post in both languages...I do not need a translation of the forum itself (as with the E-Blah language packs). I have searched this site extensively and cannot find the answer as to whether or not I can do what I want with E-Blah. Simple question, simple answer, anyone have it?

Thank you. Direct email response appreciated but not necessary.

You'll have to edit the first lines of English.lng:

$char = 'ISO-8859-15';  # Character Set to use

Change that to a character set that allows those specific charaters.


I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.

Character set is one issue. But I believe you should be able to input Sanskrit characters.

Your users should have the input manager for Sanskrit language and the browser that they are using should have Sanskrit support for viewing.

For inputing messages, Maybe this info will help. It is for Chinese Input but I believe it should be the same for other language input:

Philip,

I encourage you to try E-Blah and see for yourself if E-Blah suits your website needs.

E-Blah have alots of features, which some can only be found in paid forum system.

The advantage of having language pack is that forum users will have the forum interface in the language of their choice.
