Language overrides - special characters in constants are being errased Topic is solved

[warpw]

Hello, I need to make language overrides to constants. Some of them, unfortunately, contain special characters. Here is an example:

When I try to create a language override for a constant that contains the special character, the special character is erased by Joomla upon saving. What can I do? I searched Google and there were ideas like to use HTML entity, but that also contains special characters that are also being erased upon saving. Thank you.

What extension is being used?

Whether the extension's language strings contain any language constant that contains special character? If so, what is the language string?

The extension is SP Weather and the language is Czech. I have resolved the issue by editing the file "language/overrides/cs-CZ.override.ini" manually via FTP. By doing so, the Czech letters (á, č, ú) in language constants are not being erased by Joomla:

Code: Select all

SP_WEATHER_Pá="Pátek"
SP_WEATHER_čT="Čtvrtek"
SP_WEATHER_ST="Středa"
SP_WEATHER_úT="Úterý"
SP_WEATHER_PO="Pondělí"
SP_WEATHER_NE="Neděle"
SP_WEATHER_SO="Sobota"
