If your SMF is in UTF-8, be sure to use one of the smf_1-1-5_russian-utf8 language packages (notice the -utf8 at the end).

Create a new folder in your computer and decompress the language package there. Inside the new folder you should see a folder named Themes -- upload the Themes folder to your forum directory on the server. If done correctly, you should see some *.russian-utf8.php files in Themes/default/languages/.

Then select Russian-Utf8 in Admin > Server Settings > Default Forum Language.

Does it help?

[Extazy]

Sarge, it doesnt help..

Language packs are just for the SMF text strings, not your board names, topics or messages.

Go to phpMyAdmin, select the SMF database and browse the SMF tables, for example smf_messages. Do you see the original text or only question marks there?

Again, go to phpMyAdmin and select your SMF database. What are:
1) the database collation,
2) the table collations, and
3) column collations in smf_messages?

Also post the collations for your phpBB3 forum database.

Thx but its not different. Still the same.Some strage tags

[Extazy]

Sarge, please look at screenshots:

http://exnews.org/screen1.gif [nofollow]
http://exnews.org/screen2.gif [nofollow]
http://exnews.org/screen11.gif [nofollow]

and take a look: phpbb3 tables are working fine with russian words and they are utf8_bin, but smf tables dont work with russian words - cp1251_general_ci

what i must to do?

[SleePy]

michalss,

Hopefully if I remember I will install phpbb3 and try it tonight to see about it and work on the regular expressions that where being done to remove the identifiers.

[Sarge]

Extazy, I thought you installed SMF as UTF-8?...

All SMF tables and table fields should have utf8_general_ci as their collation, not cp1251_general_ci.

Conversions from UTF-8 to CP1251 are NOT guaranteed to work. The phpBB3 tables are in utf8_bin and utf8_general_ci is compatible with that, but cp1251_general_ci is not.

Thx a lot u are my hero 

[Extazy]

Sarge, big thx. I've reinstalled SMF and convert.php with UTF-8 and now it's working..
but last question... what's with attachments? how to convert them from phpbb3 to smf??? convert.php wrote that works with attachments...

[SleePy]

michalss,

How is this one?
I think I fixed all the errors.


Extazy,
Did any errors occur doing the conversion of attachments?

[Extazy]

Converting attachments... Successful.

but see in forum this instead attachment

Code Select Expand

[attachment=0:2vuqx9np]Servers.rar[/attachment:2vuqx9np]

[SleePy]

SMF by default doesn't have an attachments link bbc in it.

This is why it isn't translated.
