Problems on Traditional-Chinese language pack in BIG5 code

(1/1)

John Chan:
Hello!

I am an old fan of SMF since Feb2006. Today I finally upgraded my smf from V1.1 to V2.01, I would like to see thank you to everyone contribute to SMF.

There is a problem on the traditional-chinese language pack, version 2.0.2
http://download.simplemachines.org/?smflanguages;lang=chinese_traditional

Those code are messed up in many files, for example in "index.chinese_traditional.php", row 22-27:

--- Quote ---$txt['days'] = array('????, '??銝€', '??鈭?, '??銝?, '????, '??鈭?, '????);
$txt['days_short'] = array('?望', '?曹?', '?曹?', '?曹?', '?勗?', '?曹?', '?勗');
// Months must start with 1 => 'January'. (or translated, of course.)
$txt['months'] = array(1 => '銝€??, '鈭?', '銝?', '??', '鈭?', '?剜?', '銝?', '?急?', '銋?', '??', '????, '????);
$txt['months_titles'] = array(1 => '銝€??, '鈭?', '銝?', '??', '鈭?', '?剜?', '銝?', '?急?', '銋?', '??', '????, '????);
$txt['months_short'] = array(1 => '銝€??, '鈭?', '銝?', '??', '鈭?', '?剜?', '銝?', '?急?', '銋?', '??', '????, '????);

--- End quote ---

However, in UTF-8 version of the same file, it look's good

--- Quote ---$txt['days'] = array('星期日', '星期一', '星期二', '星期三', '星期四', '星期五', '星期六');
$txt['days_short'] = array('週日', '週一', '週二', '週三', '週四', '週五', '週六');
// Months must start with 1 => 'January'. (or translated, of course.)
$txt['months'] = array(1 => '一月', '二月', '三月', '四月', '五月', '六月', '七月', '八月', '九月', '十月', '十一月', '十二月');
$txt['months_titles'] = array(1 => '一月', '二月', '三月', '四月', '五月', '六月', '七月', '八月', '九月', '十月', '十一月', '十二月');
$txt['months_short'] = array(1 => '一月', '二月', '三月', '四月', '五月', '六月', '七月', '八月', '九月', '十月', '十一月', '十二月');

I guess some user may not understand chinese(or the computer can't), if you see a lot of "?" on the first quote, you would know that's a encoding problem on it.
After some check I realize it was an UTF-8 chinese saved in BIG5 coding, that cause the word go into mess.
I had copy line-by-line from the UTF-8 to BIG5 version to fix the bad code.

Should I upload my fixed file at here, so the admin could check if my fixed file could contribute anything to the language pack?

ps, I don't know if it is suitable to post my forum I'm currently working on, I am new to here thus I don't know rules here.

Thank you!
John

Hello there and welcome to smf community.

I don't see question marks there, but it looks strange to me although i don't understand Chinese.

Thanks for bringing this up, we will check this pack and post results.

Sure you can attach fixed file so we can take a look at it. :)
