Hi Guys

I've had my CMS up and running for some time now with LLBL and it's always been just with English. A customer has asked if they can have a couple of page translations in Russian, Greet and Arabic and when I try to enter these into my editor, I just end up with ????? ???? ??? ??? in my databse.

I don't know if this is an issue with SQL Server Express or something in LLBL along the way - but any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks

Darren

Please use nvarchar/nchar/ntext fields instead of normal varchar/char/text fields as nvarchar/ntext/nchar will allow you to store characters of a different codepage than english.
