Anastasios - I just want to add that it would be great if you could add your translations to the main Semantic Forms code, so that other users could benefit from them; this would also be in the long run helpful for you, since you wouldn't have to maintain your translations locally. You can do that via the site that Markus mentioned, translatewiki.net. To register with the site, just go to this page and follow the instructions:
http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Project:Translator You can then start adding translations to Semantic Forms - and maybe even other extensions as well. -Yaron On Sun, Apr 24, 2011 at 6:27 AM, Markus Krötzsch <mar...@semantic-mediawiki.org> wrote: > 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¦ΟŒΟ ΞΌΞµΟ‚ Ξ³ΞΉΞ± την Ο€Ο ΞΏΟƒΞΈΞ®ΞΊΞ· >> ΞΊΞ±ΞΉ ΞµΟ€ΞµΞΎΞµΟ Ξ³Ξ±ΟƒΞ―Ξ± ΟƒΞ·ΞΌΞ±ΟƒΞΉΞΏΞ»ΞΏΞ³ΞΉΞΊΟŽΞ½ >> 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.
