Some messages are always shown in the language of the wiki (for example if they belong to pages that everybody sees), others are shown in the language of the current user (mainly special pages that are not stored in the database but rebuild for each user individually). You may need to switch your wiki's main language to Greek to see all changes. - Markus > > Στις 24/4/2011 1:27 μμ, ο/η Markus Krötzsch έγραψε: >> On 24/04/11 06:56, Anastasios Milios wrote: >>> Dear All, >>> >>> I am modifying the the Semantic forms and i would like to add some text >>> in Greek Language. >>> Lokking at the SF_Messages.php in the language folder the Greek >>> Charcters are dsplayed like: >>> 'semanticforms-desc' => 'Ξ¦ΟΟΞΌΞµΟ‚ Ξ³ΞΉΞ± την Ο€Οοσθήκη >>> ΞΊΞ±ΞΉ επεξεΟγασία σημασιολογικΟΞ½ >>> δεδομΞνων', >>> >>> When i add a new message for example: >>> 'sf_formstart_noform_docu' => 'Ελληνικα', >>> My front end shows ��������.... >>> >>> How can i add Greek messages correctly? >> >> There are many different ways to encode non-Latin characters in files. >> MediaWiki and all its extensions use UTF-8 as their only encoding. >> When editing files with non-Latin symbols, you must make sure that >> your editor uses this encoding, or it will mess up the file contents >> (even if you do not change the non-Latin symbols at all).
