Charset Problem

  • Hi, this is my blog

    https://www.arinternacional.com.ar/blog/

    It’s in spanish, and on some computers/browsers all the spanish characters (?, á, é, ó, etc.) are not displayed correctly and I can’t seem to find away to fix it from the blog. it shows OK on my pc with chrome, but other I found the problem on a mac and other pc also with chrome and IE.

    All sugestions are welcome.

    Thank you!

  • In the <head> of your site, the charset is missing an opening quotation mark. That could be the problem.

    charset=utf-8″ should be charset=”utf-8″. See if that works.

    Hi, just checked and it works fine in chrome but it looks wrong in IE9. Here′s a printscreen of how it looks like
    cleared cache in both before opening the blog
    any other sugestion?
    thanks

    You’ve already set your lang=”es-ES” and it’s working in chrome. I’m not a savvy enough dev to diagnose further, but I did find this tidbit online relating to the wp-config.php file and setting WPLang to es-ES:

    WordPress Localized Language, defaults to English.
    *
    * Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the chosen
    * language must be installed to wp-content/languages. For example, install
    * es_ES.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘es-ES’ to enable Spanish
    * language support.
    */
    define(‘WPLANG’, ‘es-ES’);

    The last step is to upload your created language files to the language folder of your theme using FTP / SFTP. If you’re using a Spanish translation, you’ll need to upload the es_ES.po and es_ES.mo files to your theme folder.

    Maybe that will take care of the issue in other browsers. Sorry to not have been of more help. Perhaps someone who has experience with this problem will weigh in. I’ve found quite a few unresolved queries on the forum regarding the display of non-english characters.

    Hi, the theme had the ES.po and Es.mo files but I re-wrotethem anyway. I’ll check tomorrow if it’s fixed and come back

    thank you!
