Paypal non-readable language problem

(1/2) > >>

Hello, guys

I 'm trying to make it work - the  Paypal payment module for  Joomla / Virtue Mart 1.1.9.

All is fine, it sends the order to Paypal, but the text is in non-readable letters.

The web-site is in Bulgarian, but it uses utf-8 encoding.

So ... the problem is - that user can not see wath is he paying for - so probably - he will NOT pay.

any ideas?

Thank you in advance!

I found an interesting post regarding paypal and IPN responses to use utf-8

One thing you have to do regarding to the article:
Log into PayPal
Click the ‘Profile’ link in the menu bar under ‘My Account’
Click the ‘Language Encoding’ link under the ‘Selling Preferences’ column
Click ‘More Options’
Set ‘Encoding’ to ‘UTF-8’
Click ‘Save’

Also may be your plugin need to be update for forcing and telling paypal apn to use utf-8.
 
Update: I took a look on default paypal plugin in vm2 and i didn't see any option to select encoding for the IPN. May be you should try any commercial paypal plugin payment for vm2 (you could ask the developers if ipn UTF encoding is supported)
