Title: Problems with non english testimonies.
Post by: ynneb on March 25, 2006, 09:01:42 PM
I have a very strange probelm with the testimonies page. Fro some reason when I copy and past some of the testimonies they publish with some unusual characters. I have tried many ways to fix this but the problem seems to keep happening.
I have manually edited the english ones, but do not know the language of the other ones to be able to edit them.

To make problems worse, recently my hard drive died, and I lost all the emails and documents that were sent to me.
Could those who sent me a non english testamony please resend it to me in .txt form.
I am sorry for the inconvenience. You can send it to shoot.the.cat (at) gmail.com

If any one else has recently sent me an email and hasnt had the responce they expected, could they also please resend it to the above address.

Regards Benny

Benny,
Those problems usually happen when the text was typed using a non english keyboard.
The only way there is to correct this, and have it displayed correctly, is to replace, all the accents or tildes (àáâãåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûü), ñ´s and other non english characters using the windows characeter map that should have been installed on the accessories in the start menu.
Hope this can help

I have come up with a cheat solution. I have screen captured the non english testimony and made it a gif. I defy html to change that. :)
