Hi

We have used twitter_timeline plugin to show twitter’s update, it doesn’t show Japanese characters. you can check it here

Twitter renders them properly.

Following is the template code

Also checked the timeline xml using template log which is same as twitter.

Please can any one guide on this.

Asite,

At the moment your template is using iso-8859-1 character encoding. Change this to UTF-8 and it should render correctly for you.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Change to

<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Thanks John,

Changed charset to UTF-8 as you suggested but it didn’t work.

If I use “結” this character (which is coming in timeline xml) directly in template, it shows proper, but twitter_timeline convert it to some other character while rendering.

Actually, you have two lines now:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    <title>Asite Community - Collaboration, Sourcing, Contract Management, Project Management, Building Information Modeling, eProcurement, Design Management</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

Remove the first one. I have tried to view your page in “forced” utf-8 as it were, and the chars wered displaying fine (from what I can tell as a gaijin.)

Yes it works now, Thank you Ingmar and John.

Glad you are up and running again. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
