Content with Greek characters

Permalink
I am planning a multilingual site where Greek is one of the languages. I really prefer Concrete5 for CMS, but is it capable of displaying written content in Greek?

It appears that Concrete5 only supports UTF-8, which does not contain Greek characters.

Is it really so, or is it actually possible to change character set out of the box? If not, perhaps there is an easy tweak that can make it happen?

First - I thought Greek was supported by UTF-8? Is it really not?

However, you can change the character set: once you install concrete5, if you open config/site.php, and add

<?php
define('APP_CHARSET', 'iso-8859-7');
?>


We haven't tested much outside of Unicode, however.

utf-8 supports greek..

I tried to use iso-8859-1 a while ago because I had a lot of content to import but found some minor issues and then decided to use utf-8 which works much better for me..

Use utf-8 for everything and you basically don't have to worry about anything

Ahh, you made my day! Perhaps you're right that UTF-8 supports Greek. The installation procedure appears to be simple so I'll just go for it and see what happens. Just hope I wont run in to any Concrete wall :-()

Most of the unicode problems can be fixed by the script posted in this forum. Problem is, C5 creates new tables in non unicode.
