It's funny thing, if I clean install, I can write, but when I go back editing, it's unreadable.

like this:

#230;¥å¹´ã‚‚映像業界にとっていい年でありますようã€&#8218

it's ridiculous.

I see many Japanese user (done by some company provide)
uses 1.8.2 that is standard and Mr. Muto uses 2.5.4.; he has no problem.

?????

Chosei,

Make sure your database is created with the correct character set. Many installations default to latin.

CREATE DATABASE <dbname> CHARACTER SET utf8;

Also in b2evolution's admin interface go to Global Settings > Regional and make sure that your ja-JP locale has the same encoding as the database you created.

Also see:

　I did :

Modified section of _locales.php.
Code:
$use_l10n = 2;
$evo_charset = '';
$force_io_charset_if_accepted = 'utf-8';
$db_config['connection_charset'] = 'utf8';
$default_locale = 'en-US';

Now that your _locales.php is configured we have two choices. Fix an existing site or start over.

Start over/a new installation.

but still doesn't work.
yest template become perfect, but still like this:

MySQL error!
Illegal mix of collations (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) and (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) for operation 'like'(Errno=1267)

Your query: Check URL against antispam blacklist

SELECT aspm_string

FROM evo_antispam

WHERE 'こんにちわ' LIKE CONCAT("%",aspm_string,"%")

LIMIT 0, 1

i feel like give up, it's my 4th day.

is MySQL v5.0.45 causing problem, I've heard some Japanese users are complaining.
They said v4.0 was okay, then they upgraded to v4.1.15 then they had problem.
it's japanese.

Hey everyone,

Thanks, it's working (just half), I did everything what you guys said, and new 2.4.6 is working also, I can write in Japanese and I can read Japanese, but my old Japanese archive is still not working.

I can't find any solution yet, new one (2.4.6)works.
it's bummer!

Do you guys have any idea, I can get retrieve or save old archive?

my site is:
http://www.funahara.com/blog/index.php/c34/

thanks guys,

I'm installing 3.0.0.
will see,
日本語はうまく行くかな？
I tried, but result is same, last one action was building old database, that I didn't understand null or one?

Maybe reinstall again from scratch. :'(

Hi,
I have recently developed a site in English *joomla link removed but i want to offer it in German language as well. I mean it can be accessible in two languages English and German.

Can Anybody help me in this issue?
Kate

I have a client who wanted english and arabic versions of his site, I though the easiest way would be to install a wybya bar on the site with a language conversion tool on it, but the after converting to arabic the text is indeed all over the place as John said, I am now going to just create a duplicated site in arabic and just link to it (www.thesite.com/arabic) and have flag icons for english and arabic on the nav bar.
