Hi,

I am looking to use cp1250, iso88592 and UTF8. Is it possible to use all?

Thx

Hanah

Hello Hanah,

You can use ANY character set, but you will only be able to use one per installation. The character set is defined in config.php as follows (for example):

$config_charset = "UTF-8";

It would be very tricky to modify the code to handle multiple character sets on one site. Whilst in theory the product pages could be modified to use a different character set based on the character set of the source feed, you need to consider search result pages which combine information from multiple feeds - so at some point there does have to be resolution down into a single character set (per site).

Cheers,
David.
