E-Blah Community / Language Support / Chinese Text Input in E-Blah
Posted by: danielck (Guest), June 16, 2003, 7:22pm
I've tried chinese input in this E-Blah forum but not successful. The characters display as gibberish even though I have set the encoding.
View my test posting:
http://www.eblah.com/cgi-bin/bb/Blah.pl?,v=display,b=test,m=1055811044I tried on my own forum and it works properly. Not sure of the reason why as we are using the same forum software. I am using the same computer, browser to access both forums.
Attached is the image of how the chinese characters should display:

On this forum, we use English char sets or whatever (I am not all that fond of myself, lol).

Justin,
I did not make any changes to the settings of the forum during install. Neither did I install any language pack. I am using the default English language pack.
I just find it interesting that the chinese fonts did not display properly under the similiar forum settings. I am using unicode input for chinese text input. and have to change the IE encoding in order to view the chinese character properly. At eBlah forum, the chinese input seems corrupted upon posting and will not render properly even though I change the encoding.
Very interesting. I still do not know what happen, is the problem over at my side or eBlah? :)

When you submit the forum your browser probably corrupts the text. I noticed that &'s are translated when you post under a different character set. Try going to "View/Encoding/*yours here*" in Internet Explorer, then see if that helps.

It did not help Justin :(
I am accessing the forum here and my own forum with the system and configuration. (browser and windows)
I can post chinese characters in my own forum but not here.

yes.....
all I suspect is the word¡yÀ|¡z...
here it is fine to be shown...
but somewhere else like...Regtistration Agreement or the article preview mode..
it would show the weird code
if you really don't understand what I mean...please undertake the action
put the char À| onto you Registration Agreement to try..
and maybe you could get me..

Platinum should fix most of these bugs.

Hi,
Yep, the Traditional Chinese Characters displayed well when I switch the browser encoding to Big5!
Justin:
the "non-breaking Space" HTML coding show up as a "?" symbol when I switch to Big5 or GB encoding. Is it a norm or another bug? :)
