I mainly use Latin-1 and UCS-2 (not to be confused with UTF-16). Mapping between Latin-1 and UCS-2 is one-to-one... No conversion needed ever Only drawback is that case conversion and sorting only works if the scripting language internally uses UCS-2 or UCS-4.

We needed to support old data encodings while transitioning to UTF-8 (Which we're going to need when YaBB develops a version using 'real' databases.) That's what 3.0 was supposed to do but didn't do well. Our big issue with transitioning is that there's currently no good way to convert encoding on old data that has multiple embedded encodings. Once we have that licked (if it can be) then converting old encodings will become part of the 'convert old boards' process. Admins won't have to worry about 'should' or 'will'. @ThM - your observations are great - it tells us where our explanation of new features needs to be better. Guys - It's actually a mystery as to why a mixed encoding should break 'Male' and 'Female' in the vars files. Logically, those should both be simple ASCII and should encode the same in ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8. But obviously that assumption is wrong. (JonB and I went into the encoding issue thinking it would be simple. We now both feel we've entered uncharted territory where every native tells us something different - and they all want us to fall over a cliff.) Perfection is not possible.

(For instance here we've been all UTF-8 from the start.) Notepad++ does a pretty good job converting YaBB Language Packs. Support for the other encodings is for if you are upgrading an old forum that already has non-UTF-8 characters hiding in the various data files. Most all English forums can just change the encoding. It's the languages with the upper ASCII characters that have to have their data converted from ISO-1189-1 to UTF-8. Once we have a reliable converter that can handle things like YaBB Forum's ancient data, everything will go to UTF-8 and then Андрей will be able to read his name even when in not in Russian.

One for cases where there is only one language pack installed, and one for cases where there is multiple language packs installed. UTF-8 works best when there is multiple language packs with conflicting primary character encoding. GTalk Skype/VoIP Facebook Twitter YouTube ICQ IP Logged

Ok, there's a German language files in utf-8 and iso-8859-1. Why? If utf-8 is to be used, then why is there the German files also in iso-8859-1 format? Is it the same in English or any other language as well? And by the way. It should be gone by two German language files. One variant, namely German-You will do just fine. In no other language I've ever seen one exists two language version. Two translations makes too much work for one alone and is unnecessary. @dandello: I'm using the latest build version from this board .... build 1519 or so, don't know.. setting in main.lng = Code (Perl)$yycharset= 'ISO-8859-1'; I've changed the board settings from utf-8 to iso-8859-1. Now all works fine, but how xonder write, using different settings without errors on saving (User Profil settings) not possible. thanks for your hard work on the new yabb Greetings Thomas IP Logged

I do have a YaBB language converter that can convert ISO-8869-1 encoded forums to UTF-8 (and it seems to do an okay job). BUT, mixed encoding forums like YaBB Forum don't do well with automatic conversion utiities - even Notepad++ chokes on some of the files there. Perfection is not possible.
