dwood Posted January 21, 2025 Report Share Posted January 21, 2025 V10.0.3: I am having trouble with entering umlaut letters (ü, ö, ä) into text. I have tried ü and Alt+0252 with initial acceptance but then when I save and refresh the umlaut letter is replaced with a "?". This seems to be somewhat random but eventually the all umlaut letters are replaced with a "?". After doing some searching on this Forum I came across the recommendation to check the phpMyAdmin database to be sure all the collation is the same ... it is: "latin1_swedish_ci"; and then check the Language Folder in TNG : was English and Character Set: ISO-8859-1; which I changed to Language: English UTF8 and Character Set: UTF-8. Same result, umlaut characters replaced with a "?". Any suggestions? Thanks, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricD Posted January 22, 2025 Report Share Posted January 22, 2025 You probably should use collation utf8_general_ci, but you can't just change the database collation, you also have to change it for all text fields (I remember using a SQL query for someting similar in the past). Back up your database first! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Roy Posted January 22, 2025 Report Share Posted January 22, 2025 See the following articles on the TNG Wiki Setup - Language Changing to UTF-8 and as Eric said Back up you database first! Best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwood Posted January 23, 2025 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2025 Update: problem solved so far! I rebooted my system and now the umlauts appear to be "sticking around". I'm not going to make any additional changes since I need to upgrade to the newest version. Thank you both for your help! Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
