Several users have adapted the Wikka engine to work with different languages and writing systems. On this page you will find some information on how to modify Wikka to support your language.
Table of contents
Using different charsets
The default charset used by Wikka is iso-8859-1. If your database supports unicode (MySQL MySQL 4.1+), you may want to change the default charset to utf-8. To do so, you will have to modify a line in actions/header.php:
original:
- <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
modified:
- <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Selected Wikka-sites with specific charsets
(special fonts may be needed to display these sites)- Chinese (simplified) - 中文 (简) (utf-8)
- Czech - Česky (iso-8859-2)
- Hungarian - Magyarul (iso-8859-2)
- Japanese - 日本語 (euc-jp)
- Korean - 한국 (utf-8)
- Polish - Polski (iso-8859-2)
- Thai - ไทย (iso-8859-1)
- Turkish - Türkçe (iso-8859-9)
- Urdu - اردو (utf-8)
- Vietnamese - Tiếng Việt (utf-8)
Translating UI strings
The source of Wikka is currently not optimized for UI strings translation, although we are progressively making the code i18n-ready. Most of the UnderDevelopment new actions and handlers announced on this site already contain a UI string section that can be easily modified. To translate UI strings, edit the constant values without removing the variables (strings introduced by a % sign, like: %d, %s etc.), for example:
