sorry, i've not dealt with the multilingual features of Gallery, or Gallery2. your best bet would be to post on the main gallery forums, they also have a special forum just for the German language.

thanks for the answer, i have there opend the question to.

Have you a link / address of the developer from the embedded phpnuke module of G2 ? it seems to have something to do with the new language mapping, because this issue i never had with 1.4x

with best regards

his screenname is drumicube (both here and at the main gallery forums). I don't have his email handy, but a search for posts by that author should yield something for you.

Hi,
I think, it was a special german problem, I will try to explain in german okay?? For all non-germans, it is a Problem you can found it here in the G2-FAQ:

Quote: ›
Q: Where I should see dates I see "Wrong charset, cannot convert" or "Illegal character encoding" or "Illegal recode request".. what is wrong?
A: Some operating systems report invalid character sets to PHP leading to errors when trying to convert system-generated content (like day/month names in dates) to UTF-8. Work around this problem by placing the following in config.php:

Code: ›
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/modules/core/classes/GalleryCapabilities.class');
GalleryCapabilities::set('systemCharset', 'ISO-8859-1');

Replace 'ISO-8859-1' with the appropriate character set for your system.

For the germans:
Es ist ein Problem der Zeichencodierung. Ich habs jetzt wie oben beschrieben eingestellt und läuft auch so ...

Musste dann aber meinen Browser erstmal auf ISO-8859-1 Codierung einstellen ..
Confused

Nachtrag
Es ist ziemlich nervig, immer wieder den Browser manuell umzuschalten. Leider zeichent sich noch keine richtige Lösung im Menalty-Board ab. Es sit das prinzipielle Problem, dass G2 im Unicode UTF Charset läuft, wir aber ISO 8859-1 bräuchten ... Confused
