Over the last several years we've watched KlipFolio go global and when we built the new KlipFolio.com one of our goals was to improve the way languages where handled. To that end we made Klips and tags language-sensitive, making the site more usable to our global user base. But up until recently even if KlipFolio.com knew that a Klip was Russian, it wasn’t able to properly display its title or description using Russian characters (or any non-latin1 characters, for that matter).
We're happy to say that we've recently made some changes:
- uploaded Klips should now appear properly on KlipFolio.com
- users can enter tags using any characters they like
- site comments, user profiles, and other form-driven data appear properly
While you still might see the odd '?' character floating around KlipFolio.com, we're working hard to internationalize the entire site.
Special note to Klip Authors: Please note that uploaded Klip files are assumed to be in UTF-8 unless they have a proper XML declaration which specifies the Klip's encoding, for example:
If you upload a Klip and it doesn’t display properly on KlipFolio.com, make sure your “encoding” attribute is correct -- it matches the actual encoding of your Klip file -- and re-upload your Klip.
