RadEditor, SQL Server and Multi Lingual/Alphabet Support

[Darren Ratcliffe]

Hello

I've built a CMS using RadEditor as the HTML editor for page conent, and one of my customers has requested that the site is multi-lingual - these languages being English, Greek, Russian and Arabic... so all different alphabets.

I've just tried cutting and pasting in some russian copy to the cms, and this rendered fine on-screen, but seems to have been stored in the database as a series of question marks like this :  ???? ???? ??????

(HTML tags are stored fine)

This looks to be more of a SQL issue, but I was wondering if anybody had any good pointers?

Thanks

Darren

Hello Darren,

You should make sure that the content is saved with UTF-8 encoding and that your database column is of ntext or nchar type.

Thanks very much - just a simple pointer to add to your post - if you're using a middle-tier code generation platform such as LLBL Gen, make sure you re-compile your data access layer :)
