On PHP I have charset UTF-8 and COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci

After upload the Portuguese language I obtain this results:

instead á a black � with ? inside
instead ç a black � with ? inside
etc.etc. ... No accents or letters ç,á,é,ó,ã,õ,ê

Please could you help me?.
Thanks in advance
António

Where is this language pack from?
You have translated the files?
Check the character coding of these files as well. Should be UTF-8.

I translate the files from english but I change the locale to:
// Locale

$_['code'] = 'pt';

$_['charset'] = 'utf-8';

$_['direction'] = 'ltr';

$_['locale'] = 'pt_PT.UTF-8,pt_PT,portugues';

$_['date_format_short'] = 'F j, Y';

$_['date_format_long'] = 'l, F jS, Y';

$_['time_format'] = 'h:i:s A';

$_['decimal_point'] = '.';

$_['thousand_point'] = ',';

open the file with notepad++ (do not use e.g. Microsoft word).

Code: Select all

When you save your translated file set encoding to UTF-8.
