    Russian Characters problem

    Hi,

    I have a whole russian website to create. Started. I am using basic 'textstring' property and than on the content if I enter any 'Russian' text will convert into '????'.

    I am not sure that why that is happening?

    If I write the text on the master template than it displays correct. But if I use Umbraco item field and try to get the value than '????'. I want to use above field as a page title, so that each page will get its own title.

    Any help will be great.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    Did you add Russian language in your root node ?

    Do you have this one in your template ?

       <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

    I haven't touch the DB.

    What version are you running? mine is 4.7.1.1

    You were asking about adding a language, is there any place I am missing?

    Thanks

    Do you have this one:

        <!-- the encoding type for tidy. Default is UTF8, options are ASCII, Raw, Latin1, UTF8, ISO2022, MacroMan-->    <TidyCharEncoding>UTF8</TidyCharEncoding>

    in your umbracoSettings.config

    I have tried the above already, doesn't seem to be working.

    I am using MSSQL.

    I am really not sure why only textstring is converting Russian to '????'.

    bad.

    As a temporary solution of above, I am using xslt files as content. Means, for the pages to be generated, I am creating under content section, but not adding any Russian text there, calling xslt files into the template I used for a perticular page by pageid.

    Can't even make a dynamic navigation with the russian names!!!!

    Are there any drawbacks of using xslt files? I am really worried about the perfomance and other data saving issues.

    Please, suggest.

    Edit: Any comments?

    Thank you,

    Sundip
