Hi, I am currently having a multilingual website developed and the following problems emerged:
Japanese text displays perfectly on all pages of the website, on both the user and admin end.
However, whenever a mail containing Japanese is sent it turns into gibberish. (I do have Japanese fonts on my computer and have no problem viewing Japanese any other time)
When I was talking to the developers, they said a Japanese language font would have to be installed on the server as well. To me this does not seem right, maybe i'm completely wrong, but I was thinking that the server doesn't need this, since it is ultimately the client that receives the text, then based on it's encoding displays it.
the site is all php driven.
i've heard issues about mail()
what about mb_send_mail() and the mb_language() functions?
Thanks again. I scoured the web and couldn't quite find what i was looking for
