Hi to all!
I have vtigerCRM installed 2 days before and I am trying to use it without installing the language pack for greek lang. because it is for CRM4 and I have installed CRM5 ....
I dont really care (ok , i would like to be in greek) for the menu etc BUT for the datas... I insert data in greek, and when I try to view them they seem to be 'cut'
For example:
I have the word VAGGELIS in greek letters in the name of a contact.....
When I go to see the profile of this contact I see only: VAGG ......the rest of the word is missing :(
What can I do?
There is no language pack for my country for CRM5 and I dont know if thats the problem or smth else .... |

well, i changed encodig to
charset=ISO-8859-7
but the results are:
ΣΤΡΑΤΗ]
this is how it is stored into database (it is set on greek_general_ci, and i tried to utf8 too)
this means the problem is still there :( |

| The reason for that is not the collation but the field length.. Imagine a greek utf-8 character is represented using 4 bytes while a latin1 character is using 1 byte so in the word "telos" there are 5 characters in latin 1 while in utf-8 "τελος" there are 20 chars!! change the field length for a higher value this is definetly the solution!! It costed me 10 days to find it out!! :twisted: |
