in phpmyadmin change collation type of
Description field in Text_LS from latin1-swedish-ci to utf8-unicode-ci.
Mysql should convert your strings from latin1 to utf-8. Now you change
field type from longtext to longblob. And last step is to change field
type from longblob to longtext with collation type set to
latin1-swedish-ci.

so i did all that, i still see ? ? ? ? ?  but now i do see that swl stores arabic, since before i would see ? ? ? after i save the arabic file in phpmyadmin. but now i see arabic in phpmyadmin.

I still see ? ? ? ? in the linuxmce user interface. any other ideas?

i dont know much about character encoding, so if someone can please teach me. i know arabic is unicode. i am not sure again if its UTF8. and how would i be able to store arabic characters in the DB

hey guys,

I am working on an Arabic translation. I followed the instructions i had ( i just changed the German DB name in the language table to Arabic) then i used the HaDesigner program to change the former German text to arabian word.

now when i start Linuxmce, the eateries i changed are all question marks. i bet this is a character set problem.
i also installed the kde Arabic packages, no dice.

what do you guys suggest i do? i am doing this for my job, and i would appreciate a fast response.
