Hello my forum is in Italian, I just updated it to 2.0.17 and was trying to update the Italian translation but I am not sure which one between these 2 I need to choose, thank you.

Look in your database, are all table collations utf8_general_ci?

I think so, here a screenshot, thank you

That doesn't actually tell you for sure which you are using.

Better test, search your Settings.php file for an entry for $db_character_set. If it is there, it will say UTF-8 if you are using UTF-8. If you don't have it mentioned, you are not using UTF-8.

$db_character_set not found in settings.php so I will go for NO.

Thank you!

The database is utf-8, just add $db_character_set = 'utf8'; to Settings.php.
