Doc Bug #33990 Non-english characters not converted to HTML-encoding (such as å)
Submitted: 2005-08-03 23:17 UTC Modified: 2005-08-04 09:13 UTC

Description:
------------
While looking through the Swedish manual I noticed that non-English letters are written directly in the HTML-code - not converted to chars like å and such.

This makes it look strange if not using the Western Europ?ean (Windows). But if you change this (in the browser) you have to do so on EVERY page as php.net changes this for every page to its default Unicode.

It should not use entities, I just have the rebuild the manual - which I'm doing now. Should be fixed in a couple of hours.

Thanks. Overall the manual is very good. How was the crowd of translators put together at the time of translation?

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

It's just a bunch of volunteers who decided that they would help. In case you want to help out with translation, please see: http://php.net/dochowto

(BTW, I've no idea why the karaters in the contents of this manual are still broken, but that's up to the translation team.)
