Russian charset bug?

[Sarttorius]

In a header we can see <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=KOI8-R">, but real charset is cp1251.

The translation pages we recieved were encoded using KOI8-R. If I set the page code to what you suggest its just nonsensical characters.

is cp1251 a more common code page for russian?

I see it right NOW. I think someone who sent have overlooked to warn, that the charset has exchanged. If I view page source in the Notepad it looks good - cp1251.

is cp1251 a more common code page for russian?


Yes. cp1251 is the Windows code page for russian, KOI8-R is for *nix by default. And if i've got Windows (most of the russians) i've got IE with checked auto-detecting russian character coding. Mozilla Firebird - the same :)

Just change only the header.

I've reported this issue by email (Jan 24), but was sure it's only my browser's trouble. Sorry, it was irresponsibly:(
2Matt:
How can I find encoding of palin text file? I mean, my text editor has no functions for encoding change, so how I was able to change it?:)

2Sarttorius:
Спасибо, дружище!:)

It is not critical errors...
One of your PHP script that inserting space with spacer.gif has wrong name of variable:
<img SRC="/img/spacer.gif" WIDTH={WDITH} HEIGHT=1 ALT="">
In the bottom of page:
<table width="100%%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10">

Please, change russian charset in meta tag.

Thanks.

try an editor called 'EditPlus'. When you open the file it will tell you on the status bar what encoding type it is in. You can also change the enc. type.

Damn, hit me. I can't see any codepage information on status bar of EditPlus (v2.11).
But BrED (v2.1.8) tells me what all my .ini's are 1251-encoded. I've saved one of the pages on my harddrive, edited META to win1251 and it's OK, as Sarttorius says. Matt, are you sure about .ini's being heart of darkness?
