Change the character set for a language

 

---

The character set is stored in the database. This is the character set used for the response to the user.

To change the character set for a language, go to...

Administration | Portal settings | Supported markups | markup | Edit | Set locale-specific settings | language | Edit

Note that for a portlet to be rendered correctly, the language of the portlet must be supported by the character set of the portal.

To help the user's browser to render content correctly, the used character set is written to the HTTP header of the response stream. The default encoding is UTF-8.

The values in use are:

      Japanese ja                       = Shift_JIS
      Simplified Chinese zh             = GBK
      Traditional Chinese zh_TW, HTML   = Big5
      Traditional Chinese zh_TW, WML    = UTF-8
      Korean ko                         = KSC5601
      All others                        = UTF-8
