About Peter Westwood
My blog used to display Hindi in version 2.1.3. With 2.3.3 it does not. Any ideas, fixes, suggestions to get Hindi displayed properly gratefully received. Thanks much.
@umlaut: You need to install the correct localisation files and configuration to get your blog to display in a language other than English. You can read more information on this on the WordPress codex – http://codex.wordpress.org/Localization
Thanks for the quick response Peter!
The odd thing is that Hindi is not a supported language on the link. It never was. But WP2.1.3 rendered Hindi just fine, despite WordPress not being localized to Hindi. Now it does not. Any idea which file(s) may be involved?
Another (related?) issue is the display of apostrophes and and “em” dashes – it is all messed up. Pointers to possible files I need to hack would be wonderful.
Thanks, again!
@umlaut: I take it by “rendered Hindi” you mean in post entries etc. I think you need to look at what encoding you are using in your database and you may need to add an entry to the wp-config.php file to make sure WordPress talks to the database using the same encoding – this information in the codex may be on some use – http://codex.wordpress.org/Converting_Database_Character_Sets
Thanks Peter!
