I'm in process of translating PmWiki into shqip and having some difficulties with special characters. Here are the steps I follows:
* Created a new www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWikiSq/XLPage * Edited all the right-hand-side strings creating ë and ç characters as appropriate, using the alt-135 and alt-137 on the number pad * Saved that page on pmwiki.org * Changed to a ?action=source view, copied * Went to my own wiki (www.lutje.org/pmwiki/PmWikiSq/XLPage), edited and pasted and saved * Noticed that the special characters were not displaying correctly so went to my farmconfig.php and put in the instructions for UTF-8 * Saw that the characters were still not displaying correctly so went into ?action=edit, copied into an editor, did a global search/replace for the appropriate HTML entities, copied&pasted back into the ?action=edit box, and saved * Now characters show appropriately on my site. * I went back to pmwiki.org and see that those special characters are not even HTML entities -- they appear to be just question marks. Whatever I do with copy/paste at this point just has question-marks... Obviously this has something to do with character sets and the whole UTF-8 thing, but I'm kind of hazy on this whole area... QUESTIONS: (1) How *should* I have done the above? Different order, different steps, what? (2) How can I get the text from PmWikiSq/XLPage now that it's messed up? I can copy/paste from my local copy, but if I didn't have that solution available what would I do then? -Peter
