Hello,
It would bee cool if the system could convert non-standard characters to html. I'm from Sweden and we use for instance å (a with dot), ä (a with two dots), ö (o with two dots) as the last three characters in the alphabet. This should be done for the blog, news and the products description. Today I need to "insert special character" in the editor.

Is there a easy way to add a replace(x,x,x) in the code that does this for the saving of data. How does this affect the SEO-links?

Hello again,
Please look at left menu under http://www.lagerutforsaljning.se/trugs/

If you place the pointer on the menu text "Dukar/Pannåer... " it tells you that the link is pointing towards "http://www.lagerutforsaljning.se/trugs/products/50-dukar-pann#65533;#65533;er/". This link contains wrong data for the special Swedish character "å".

This is what i have done (but without solving the problem);
1. Changed all "charset=ISO..." on the site to utf-8 (find & replace)
2. Changed the lcid in the admin setup to 1053 (sweden)
3. Put in charset=utf-8 (hard coded) manually in all header files (admin and shop)
4. Deleted all SEO Dynamic folders/files that has been created earlier.

The other problem is that the system creates a SEO Dynamic folder with name "17002-dukar-pann�er". I think this is related to the problem above, but with other strange symbols for the character "å".

Why doesn't the support team create a common STEP-BY-STEP instruction for non-English sites, This would be really nice and save you a lot of bumb questions about this!!!

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Dear all,
This is how I solve it, after approx. 1 week of testing....
I found out that the languange file (downloaded from vpasp site) that you can import has charset= as a parameter in the file. I also found that two other files was hard coded with charset, and not picked from the system.

Change log:
1. Change charset TO "iso-8859-1" in language file that has special characters (line Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish, German, ....
2. Change to charset=<%=GetLang("langcharset")%> in file admin/convertcategories.asp AND admin/convertproducts.asp

Now my site is running perfect and all special characters are showed perfect.
