Hi all,

My forum language is greek.

I have language problems because I move MSSQL db from a local to foreign. Local has default language greek but the new one has english and I solve the problem partialy by putting the string <% @ Language=VBScript codepage=1253%> at the top of the page, also language package displays the greek characters right with this mod.

After this I had problem only with "text" type fields that is the main body of the messages. The displayed characters is like "??st???? ?p?? ?ata?a?a??? ?a? f?t??".

I tried to add the following code to the db's connection string "Auto Translate=False;" and now the characters is like "Aoooo??o u?uo eaoaeaaa?iu " (I thought something better done!)

I remove the <% @ Language=VBScript codepage=1253%> string and the main massage body displays greeks OK but the other fields like the name of the forum, title etc displays again ""??st???? ?p?? ?ata?a?".

Seems to not exists one middle way, I'm confused.

Please help

Chris

I suggest that you post this on the support forum and not on the Mods forum. That way you'll get a faster response, good luck.
