Hello Jacques

As far as I know (and I am nearly sure) utf-8 was made to build all signs from all languages. So if you are using utf-8 in your planned templates, you should be fine.
for example, Java is already in utf-8 (please correct me when I am wrong) also PHP should be ready for utf-8. So if you are using UTF-8 for the future, you are prepared for all upcoming languages.

If some people who already applied to translate Jacques Templates into other languages and you are currently registered at his web page and you are trying to make Step 2, please use Google to search for: "Pangramm text" in your language. Pangramm is text which contains all characters used by your language.
for example myself used the Text: Welch fieser Katzentyp quält da süße Vögel bloß zum Jux? and choosed utf8 and I passed the character test on Jacques page without problems. All characters (German Umlaute) were displayed correctly.
Jaqcuqes, if you are using UTF-8 you will be safe.

-jan

Hi Jan,

I'm sorry to made step 2 mandatory. Because I know that UTF-8 is supposed to be "the savior" but I haven't try it myself in many language. Firstly, I've made all my web files to utf-8, but for Cumulus projects, I have always weird characters as Cumulus generate iso-8559-1 text. Then for French it was far easier to stay with "us-continental" charset!

Then, I have force myself to fine tune my skills about foreign languages and study a little about that and found that we don't have ONE UTF-8, but MANY! See picture.

Then with a list that long I need more "real world" infos!
The charset is the "foundation" of any web pages... and like "foundation" of a house, if it's not perfect, the whole house will suffer from that!

When I try to look at it in my console I see anything but foreign characters as you can see :

utf8-a.jpg

Then I want it as perfect as it could be!

Weird....
Does your console try to read utf-8 as iso?
The first row looks like that one that I wrote, an the characters I saw look fine to me.
And not like these.

Hi Kenneth,

As you see... weird! :evil:

Charset are usually represented on a 1-for-1 character, then we see usually near reality.
But with UTF-8 we have 2 "letters" for 1 character, each "letter' is in reality a number between 0 ans 255

That is why I have to do step 2! Even if I switch my Pc config to an otner language, if I don't know that language,
I could not recognize these letters! But, with your help I'll don't have to! I work with numbers, not letters.

Then your implication is essential to produce a quality "Cumulus Template Translator"!

Thanks for your time! :clap:
Jacques

Bonjour monsieur Kenneth, :D

Pages are on good way! Most difficult is the first one. :lol:

I'm building facilities for me, to have a "universal base" that will fit all other page.
Then, I'll just have to join a list of words to translate! :ugeek:

First page to translate is near end. Today, you'll notice changes in site, step 3 open.
Page "Now" can be previewed with weather data in language you are about to submit!

I know that it is a bit long, but I wan't to do the things the right way! :mrgreen:
I'm concerned about security issues, to not be hacked and to preserve translations as a living tool.

I plan with that "treasure", to build "Living Template"!
A new webtag is official... no worry about editing your template... it is already displayed on your site!!

Finally, as I promissed, all languages files generated by this project will be available freely! :clap:

Then, I go back to MySQL desing (to save... in a few!)! :geek:

Jacques
PS. Today we display a 9th language : Slovenian
