issue with Bulgarian

[wellbuiltwebsites]

Hi,

I posted this in general questions, but it may be more suitable here, help! - i'm desperate now!

- I'm using VM 1.1 and Joomla 1.0.15.

I have installed the virtuemart language pack and have joomfish installed too. The problem I have is that when I choose to display the Bulgarian language I get the following instead of the actual translation:

���������

this replaces all Bulgarian text, although I have no translations added for the actual products surely it should still translate the VM standard text?

-it works fine with the other languages, but not with Bulgarian, any ideas?

joomla 1.0.15 is not UTF-8
Virtuemart 1.1 is UTF-8
so it might give you all sort of problems.
actually, there's no good reason to stick to joomla 1.0.x

so are you saying that there is NO solution for this. Am i better to downgrade VM, I can't use J 1.5 for this project?

There is a solution. You need to build the whole of your site in UTF-8 and to convert the Bulgarian language files into it.

Maybe the database tables are still in ANSI encoding? Try looking with PHPMyAdmin... The table for product description is jos_vm_products, try to change the charset of its fields, with UTF-8.
