Author Topic: French Language / UTF8 ?? (Read 2005 times)

Hi,

ok, so I'm seriously going nuts with that, so that's why I'm here asking for help.
I can't manage to make my bot speak French

It keep displaying stuff like " connectÃ©" instead of "connecté" (french for "online")

I've edited the files, saving them with encoding set both to "UTF8 Without BOM" and "UTF8" but neither work. (using notepad++ under windows to edit. But i can use the linux "vim" command if that may help)

So how do I do ??
Please help, I'm really becoming crazy

BeBot is PHP based, which means it does not handle UTF8 natively too well.

BeBot uses utf8_encode/decode which translates anything from the server from UTF8 to iso-8859-1 and vice versa.

So in order for your output to be correct, you will need to save your files using iso-8859-1 encoding.
