Language Selector with Chinese characters

Hi rogerio,

what is your blog_charset option? To find out, go to wp-admin/options.php and see what value is written in the field named ?blog_charset?. What theme do you use? Does the problem persists, if you activate a default theme (twenty fifteen) and deactivate all other plugins?

Kind regards
David

Hi David,

Thanks for your help.
The blog_charset option on the Chinese site is: UTF-8.
Current theme: Dusseldorf child (Düsseldorf is the original theme). I think this theme and MultilingualPress are part of the same company.

Hi rogerio,

they were part of the same company. However, can you investigate the HTTP-Response header if the Content-Type is set correct to text/html;charset=utf-8? What does actually stands in the HTML source code at the place you would expect 中文?

Kind regards
David

Hi David,

Actually I’m using UTF-8 for all the languages. I put the Chinese site live. When you are in the Chinese site the Chinese characters appears in Language Selector. I guess because I chose in the MultilingualPress administration – Language: Chinese.
Here is the URL:

https://hallodeutschschule.ch/

Stands two Question Marks “??” with a frame around them. You can see it as I put the site live.

https://hallodeutschschule.ch/

Where I find HTTP-Response header? (sorry for my ignorance).

Best regards.
Rogerio

Thanks for the URL. I visited the site and some pages there but I didn’t found the place where the ?? are. E.g. the menu in the top left corner shows: 中文 ES IT PT FR EN DE

Is it maybe a problem with your Browser? Are all Chinese characters broken or only some of them?

You are right. On Safari and Firefox it’s working, but, on Opera and Chrome not. Do you know how I could fix for those two browsers? I’m on Mac OS 10.11.4

Not really. You should define explicitly a font with support for these characters in your stylesheet.

Hi David,

Thanks a lot. I change the font and now it works with all the browsers.

All the best.
Rogerio

I forgot to Mark as resolved.
