hi 🙂
I am using efiction and I ranslate it to Hebrew...
I have a problem
I want that sentences like that:
will be like that:
thanks
You want it to be squished? Otherwise they look the same to me. Could you please clarify?
the exclamation mark not good if you see, it's need to be like the last sentences, it's like I write form left to right but I need to write from right to left, when I do it the exclamation mark not changed...
You mean the quotation marks? That's not anything in the script. That's controlled by what you enter. You can use CSS to change direction in your skn, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.
In css.
direction: r2l;
I've seen this before with other users who's sites are in a language (such as Hebrew) that goes from Right->Left as opposed to the usual Left->Right. He wants all the text in his site to go from Right->Left.
You need to change the script from using the UTF-8 charset to iso-8859-8 for Hebrew.
http://www.w3.org/International/O-charset-lang.html
It should look like this currently:
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
And you should change it to this I believe:
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-8" />
And also in your RSS/XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-8"?>
And it is suggested that you also add this into your CSS:
@charset "iso-8859-8";
Let me know if this works.
it's didn't work for me, but thanks!
any suggestion?
I've tried to read up on this, apparently you also need to not only do the changes I listed, but changes in HTML as well. Try changing your <html> tag to the following and see if this helps:
<html dir="rtl">
(adding dir="trl")
And also after you've tried that it may help to clear your browser's cache and then refresh your website.
Try Becca's suggestion first. If doesn't work, try this. You may also need to change the characterset of your database. You'd have to log into your control panel on your site in order to do this. Select "MySQL Databases" then "PHP MyAdmin" (this is usually at the bottom). Then select your database, go to operations and change the encoding there.
When I visit your site now Orti, it looks like you changed the charset to windows-1251 and it seems that is why it is not working. The charset for Hebrew is iso-8859-8 or iso-8859-8-i, I read that windows-1251 is no longer supported, so I suggest if you want your site to function that you change it accordingly.
Thanks, it's works
I change the encoding in my database 😆
Great, I'll create an article on this for other users who have languages with different charsets.
