Swedish localization flaw in date/time part of admin panel
Posted: 03 Jun 2012, 05:11
I've chosen to use the Swedish localization but the time/date bar in the admin site shows incorrect characters in the day name - "Söndag" is shown as "s�ndag".
This happens if I use the default character encoding setting in Chrome, UTF-8. If I switch to ISO 8859-1 the day name is correctly displayed but instead other parts suffers from problems relating to character encoding. Enabling and auto-detect makes no difference.
Recommendations:
Code: Select all
<div id="sideboard-datetime-day">s�ndag</div>Recommendations:
- Please take a look at §5.2.2 Specifying the character encoding in the W3C HTML 4.01 specification.
- Stick to one character encoding in all parts of the admin site and specify it, e.g. using
Code: Select all
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> - ... and/or follow the 5.3.2 Character entity references and §24 Character entity references in HTML 4
