I'm in process of translating PmWiki into shqip and having some difficulties with special characters. Here are the steps I follows:<div><br></div><div>* Created a new <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWikiSq/XLPage">www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWikiSq/XLPage</a></div>
<div>* Edited all the right-hand-side strings creating ë and ç characters as appropriate, using the alt-135 and alt-137 on the number pad</div><div>* Saved that page on <a href="http://pmwiki.org">pmwiki.org</a></div><div>
* Changed to a ?action=source view, copied</div><div>* Went to my own wiki (<a href="http://www.lutje.org/pmwiki/PmWikiSq/XLPage">www.lutje.org/pmwiki/PmWikiSq/XLPage</a>), edited and pasted and saved</div><div>* Noticed that the special characters were not displaying correctly so went to my farmconfig.php and put in the instructions for UTF-8</div>
<div>* Saw that the characters were still not displaying correctly so went into ?action=edit, copied into an editor, did a global search/replace for the appropriate HTML entities, copied&pasted back into the ?action=edit box, and saved</div>
<div>* Now characters show appropriately on my site.</div><div>* I went back to <a href="http://pmwiki.org">pmwiki.org</a> and see that those special characters are not even HTML entities -- they appear to be just question marks. Whatever I do with copy/paste at this point just has question-marks...</div>
<div><br></div><div>Obviously this has something to do with character sets and the whole UTF-8 thing, but I'm kind of hazy on this whole area...</div><div><br></div><div>QUESTIONS:</div><div>(1) How *should* I have done the above? Different order, different steps, what?</div>
<div>(2) How can I get the text from PmWikiSq/XLPage now that it's messed up? I can copy/paste from my local copy, but if I didn't have that solution available what would I do then?</div><div><br></div><div>-Peter</div>
