Hello Razorx3d,

you need to change your varchar(32) to varchar(255) in categories_description in your phpmyadmin.

Hope this helps - It didn't help me though

thanks i will try

i am sorry but cant find that varchar(32) to varchar(255) were is this opption i my phpmyadmin i cant find it. plaese heeeelp someone

ok i find it in my phpmyadmin

Did it work?

Select Greek from main admin panel before editing categories / products.

the problem is i can not select greek language in catalog, despite that i have installed it already.

You have to install the language files (admin and catalog) and you have to install the language through your admin / Localization / Languages.

Changing following setting in the file: catalog/admin/includes/languages/english.php

define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

to

define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-7');

enables you to add greek characters without a problem in your admin (if iso is used)

Still scrambled.

I have enabled Greek on my Mac just about everywhere.

Yassou!

Well. I found a workaround....that in ../Languages you need to specify your language..ie greek.php but that probebly will not work since there is asked for a .php file....so change your greek.php to .php ( leave greek out). Give it a try...it worked for me...DO NOT FORGET TO SAVE YOUR greek.php FIRST.
( I realise it is part of the problem ).

I run into similar problems.
Changing the charset in the admin/includes/languages/english.php to 8859-7 did fix my following problem:
I installed the greek zones/taxes, but since I could not enter the greek .sql I mported the english one and edited all the entries to greek via the administration tool. The displaying of the names was fine (apart from the administration-shop location) but I the creation of new users was impossible. The droplist had all the zones correctly, but no matter which one you'd choose it complained again that you had to choose one.


The catalog entries got fixed with the varchar(255) that also appled to zone names.

When you guys mean you installed the greek language pack I'm assuming you're talking about the greek-iso contribution?

varchar(255) does the trick if anyone else gets the same problem.
