phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

I have installed phpbb3 beta3 version,At the same time,I translated it into Chinese(Simplified Chinese),But when the installation ready to insert the simple data,an error happend.

I had analize the database structure file

Found the default encoding is utf8_bin,and I change it into utf8_unicode_ci,it works

I do that (my default editor is vim70)

vi mysql_41_schema.sql

:%s/utf8_bin/utf8_unicode_ci/g

No, utf8_bin is correct, utf8_unicode_ci would not work and is also not intended to work with phpBB.

Which problems do you experience?

under the folder called languages/language pack/

there's file called iso.txt, right?

when it contain a multibyte character, you will see the error

if not,at the background acp ,you change the language local name

ok,you see

the name changes to ????????

when i change it to utf8_unicode_ci,everything goes ok

Are you sure you change the local name only? The english name is not supposed to hold utf8 data - also you said the error was on installation - within the language pack management i am able to enter unicode character for the local name just fine.

Please be as specific as possible.
