Hebrew Help!!!

[zoa]

Hi There...

We bought your calendar, which has some incredible innovations but one major flaw that if you fix, will allow users to install this in hebrew and arabic - that's a great big number of potential users...

i am trying to use hebrew with this calendar - i want the event content to appear in hebrew, the manager interface is fine), i have changed the language encoding to UTF8 and now in the manager i have changed the days and months to display in hebrew correctly, however there's a problem with the parsing of the event description, some characters are showing up incorrectly, after doing a save the text will suddenly show crunched up in some weird encoding (shows up like xxx and boxes)...

also i want the content to go in direction RTL instead of LTR, how do i go about changing this inside the code?

how do i go about changing the input fields of the system and display so the date event line, titles, renaming the multiple day event field, it will all show up correctly,

i need urgent help with this...
please help

No one had asked for this feature before, so we didn't know it was a major flaw. :)

I'm not familiar with this. Is it something you can do with CSS?

Hey Bryan,

thanks for the reply, apparently, i'm not the first one who had this kind of problem,
i saw questions in the forum from Raquefet A. Yedidia about this issue,
http://www.easyphpcalendar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7472&highlight=hebrew
luckily Israel is a small country and i was able to locate her yesterday on facebook, she gave me some pointers as to where to look and edit the code...

i hope i will manage to do this ok...

basically you have an amazing product,
flexible, well thought out, works great...
you need to add a fully working RTL mode to make it incredibly amazing...
however there are some very minor bugs and glitches that occur when using hebrew - that i think would be very easy for you to fix, i would be more than happy to co-operate with you on this, and tell you of my needs, since i will definitely need some more calendars in the future... (i am a web designer)

thanks a lot!
have a great week!

Sorry for not being clear before. I was referring to the RTL text, not Hebrew text in general, that I don't recall being asked about before. :)

What are the glitches you see?

Hey Bryan,
i am getting all sorts of strange character such as these below
randomly on all texts fields other than the fields to change months and days name...

�?ו ל�×™×•× (×�)

also when there's a dot or three dots at the end of the sentence the dots move to before the sentence.
when there's a mix of hebrew and english in a sentence the order of the sentence coming out wrong. i have changed the control panel settings to utf8, still doesn't help..

your help would be massively appreciated..

Can you post what your are trying to add to the calendar here (not sure if it will correctly)?

[zoa]

Examples:

>> Multiple Events <<
>> ארוע רב יומי <<
>> �ר�ע ר� ���� <<


'More Text' caption:

[Brian]

Those didn't come across correct here...

Is the a link to a page where I can copy/paste some text from?

[zoa]

Of course, you will need to add hebrew to your languages... in the control panel > regional and languages > languages > details > and add hebrew...

it will then work ok for you also
