Hello i’m trying to setup multi language to my personal website, however the procces is okay but “special” characters are not displayed, it’s about serbian language.

c::set('language.detect', true);
c::set('languages', array(
  array(
    'code'    => 'en',
    'name'    => 'English',
    'default' => true,
    'locale'  => 'en_US',
    'url'     => '/en',
  ),
  array(
    'code'    => 'rs',
    'name'    => 'Srpski',
    'locale'  => 'sr_RS',
    'url'     => '/rs',
  ),
));

Have you saved all files in UTF-8 encoding? Might be that your Serbian content files are saved in a different encoding.

Well i guess i did, just opened and edited it with Notepad++, however when i try to add ‘custom’ localization it shows me errors…

c::set('languages', array(
  array(
    'code'    => 'en',
    'name'    => 'English',
    'default' => true,
    'url'     => '/en',
    'locale'  => array(
      LC_COLLATE  => 'en_US.utf8',
      LC_MONETARY => 'en_US.utf8',
      LC_NUMERIC  => 'en_US.utf8',
      LC_TIME     => 'en_US.utf8',
      LC_MESSAGES => 'en_US.utf8',
      LC_CTYPE    => 'en_US.utf8'
    ),
  ),
  array(
    'code'    => 'rs',
    'name'    => 'Srpski',
    'url'     => '/rs',
    'locale'  => array(
      LC_COLLATE  => 'sr_RS.utf8',
      LC_MONETARY => 'sr_RS.utf8',
      LC_NUMERIC  => 'sr_RS.utf8',
      LC_TIME     => 'sr_RS.utf8',
      LC_MESSAGES => 'sr_RS.utf8',
      LC_CTYPE    => 'sr_RS.utf8'
    ),
  ),
));

Which errors? :slight_smile:

Notice: Use of undefined constant LC_MESSAGES - assumed 'LC_MESSAGES' in C:\xampp\htdocs\news\site\config\config.php on line 42
Notice: Use of undefined constant LC_MESSAGES - assumed 'LC_MESSAGES' in C:\xampp\htdocs\news\site\config\config.php on line 55
Warning: setlocale(): Invalid locale category name LC_MESSAGES, must be one of LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, or LC_TIME in C:\xampp\htdocs\news\kirby\kirby.php on line 530

And by the way when i directly enter special character into (for example site\templates\default.php) it does display special character…

Could you just try this:

c::set('languages', array(
  array(
    'code'    => 'en',
    'name'    => 'English',
    'default' => true,
    'url'     => '/en',
    'locale'  => array(
      LC_ALL  => 'en_US.utf8',
    ),
  ),
  array(
    'code'    => 'rs',
    'name'    => 'Srpski',
    'url'     => '/rs',
    'locale'  => array(
      LC_ALL  => 'sr_RS.utf8',
  ),
));

Also double-check your files are saved as UTF8 by doing the following in notepad++:
Try Settings -> Preferences -> tab New document/Default Directory -> Encoding -> check UTF-8 without BOM, Apply to opened ANSI files.
