How to change charset to WINDOWS-1256

——————————————————————————–

Hi, I am not sure if this question has been answered on before.

But when I use arabic characters on the menu in the teline-II template,
it just make a a loot of (??????).

So in order to view the arabic I think I need to change the charset from
‘iso-8859-1’ and replace this with charset= WINDOWS-1256

I am using teline-II and joomla1.5

Please tell me the steps on how to do this. And make my arabic characters to be seen.

Many thanks

Hi alwan,

Please try with my guide:

+ Open factory.php file in librariesjoomla folder, at the end of file, find following code section:

$attributes = array (
'charset' => 'utf-8',
'lineend' => 'unix',
'tab' => ' ',
'language' => $lang->getTag(),
'direction' => $lang->isRTL() ? 'rtl' : 'ltr'
);

and change to:

$attributes = array (
'charset' => 'WINDOWS-1256',
'lineend' => 'unix',
'tab' => ' ',
'language' => $lang->getTag(),
'direction' => $lang->isRTL() ? 'rtl' : 'ltr'
);

Hope it helps.
