How to make it readable in Thai

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

I’m not sure what is happening here, but my assumption is that the font you are using in the theme does not contain the Thai language characters.

Does the same problem happen when switching to a WordPress default theme, like TwentyTwelve?

Can you see and edit the table as expected on the “Edit” screen in the TablePress admin area?

I tried switch to twentytwelve but it’s still not working. May be I should try install wordpress Thai version.

Hi,

no, that will probably not change things.
Please answer this question:

Hi,

After I import this .csv file to create a table it is not readable on the “Edit” screen. I can edit them but that means I can type something in Thai. I can create Thai content table manually using TablePress, but to import a csv table is not successful.

PS. Thanks for creating this great plugin. I hope you can fix this issue.

Hi Chonathun,

ah, ok. So we are talking about an imported table here.

The problem might then be the result of some issues with the character encoding. Unfortunately, CSV files (e.g. from Excel) usually don’t get encoded in UTF-8, but another encoding. When such a file is imported, the character encoding can however not be determined automatically, to take care of this.

Before importing a file, you’ll therefore have to do a manual extra step: Please open the file in a text editor, like Notepad on Windows. Click “File” -> “Save as” and select “UTF-8” in the character encoding drop down. Then try to import that modified file into TablePress, please.

(TablePress 0.9-RC contains some code that can do this automatically in many cases, but it might be possible that your server does not support this ?? But with that extra step, the import should work. Sorry about that.)

Thanks. I’ll try this and let you know.
