International characters (character encoding) #65

Open olufine opened 2 years ago

olufine commented 2 years ago

TemaTres doesn't seem to be able to distinguish between certain international characters, and therefore complains about duplicate terms when they are not. Example: The characters 'å' and 'a' are considered identical in TemaTres. However, in Norwegian these are 2 different characters. That is, terms between which the å/a is the only difference must be allowed to coexist. E.g., 'Gård' and 'Gard' are different terms.

I assume this problem has to with the character encoding scheme used in TemaTres?

hi @olufine (sorry for delay in response and please be patient with my english :) ), as far as I understand, the problems associated to distinguish certain characters in specific languages can be solved by configuration of the collation in the data base, you can change this in the database.
