Hi, I'm currently updating the 9.71 spanish files to fit the newest 10.2.5. I started with post.pl file but once uptdated it showed weird unwanted characteres instead of the ones that was originally displayed at the file in notepad. I made a search here and find that some changes to template.html are needed, so i made those changes. Now the special chars in the main "new thread" area are ok but if you hit 'click aqui para adjuntar una encuesta' (click here to attach a poll). None of my special spanish characters are recognized there. If i update my post.pl file and change those chars for their html code (like &aacute) they do display ok, but isn't there any other way??? thanks
Take a look, please hit here and then click 'click aqui para adjuntar una encuesta' to see what i mean:

The template.html file is already edited for the 'es' instead of the 'en' and the iso-8859-1 instead of UTF-8

Did you edit Post.pl or Post.lng?  You should never edit Post.pl for language files.

Ok.

You're going to need to edit the character set in your theme.  I'm not sure what character set you'll need to use.  Martin usually knows this stuff.

Code
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />


That's the line you'll need to edit.  You'll need to change UTF-8 to your character set.

Change this in your template.html:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

To:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

This is the charset for spanish.

And:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">

To:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="es">

Oh, your problem could be with the AJAX.  Martin, didn't you find a fix for that?

It's in the /blahdocs directory.  Copy it and then clear your browsers cache and then go to Post page again.

Quoted from Justin
Did you copy over the new common.js file?

I'm sorry but I'm kind of slow, I understand that i have to clear my browsers cache, no prob i know how to do that, and i know where this common.js file is but i just can't understand what to do with this common.js file. You are telling me to 'copy over', is there a new updated version of this file??? Thanks again for your time...
