??? in Chinese Language

Post by ramsingh666 » Fri Jan 04, 2013 3:03 pm

Hi,

First of all I'm not talking about database text. The Chinese text in my site displays fine. However the text like "Username" and "Password" in RizVN CB Login modue and "Recent Discussions", "MAIN FORUM", "Welcome, Guest
Please Login or Register. Lost Password?" etc of Kunena forum shows ???.

The database and table and doctype all are in utf-8.

What could be wrong here? I've installed chinese langauge pack from Extension install/uninstall and also language pack for Kunena forum.

Thanks and happy new year.

Welcome to Joomla forum!

Does Joomla itself display the Chinese texts from its Chinese language files correctly (e.g. "Read More")?

Did you use the "same" ISO-code Chinese language packs for both Joomla & Kunena?
So both zh-CN or zh-TW? (don't mix those in your site)

Thank you for the reply.

There is no read more or I can't find it but I can see bunch of other texts in Chinese. They also translate very well between English and Chinese.

I can't find any option to set such ISO-code for Kunena.

Are Joomla's language labels, e.g. Read More, or the fields in the contact form translated correctly in Chinese?

You cannot.
But you can install language packs.
Which language pack did you install in Joomla?
zh-CN?

Which language pack did you install in Kunena?
zh-CN?

If I remove the Chinese language, ??? displays in English. Rest of the site displays fine in Chinese and English combination.
