utf-8 for com_recommend?

[kirilb]

Is there a possibility to use a language file with utf-8? My whole site and databse is in utf-8, but when I upload the file I see only spec. characters on the site.

[Saka]

Should be possible. But make sure you save language file as UTF.

I deleted all lang files and uploaded my lang file but got a error message : error in the line 53. What i did is: I called it then english.php with my utf-8 text inside and uploded it once again. Then everything was ok. That is fine for me, I wont try another solutions.
Thanks

Of course there is no support for free components! But this forum is for users to help each others.

Which version of Joomla do you use exactly? And which version of com_recommend? I didn't create mod_recommend btw, it was added by someone else so I will not answer anything about that.

Have you tried adding "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8" to recommend.php ?

Just paste the line:
echo '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />';
right under the line:
defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );
in the beginning of recommend.php file.
