I need advice! Users of my forum write in Russian and I have a lot of troubles because of it. Now I use another forum (MS Access DB) and we post at the forum with charset=Windows-1251 and the output is right, but when I download the .mdb file to my PC so as to move their data into .mdb of snitz's forum the characters instead of Cyrillic there was as if they were entered Latin and I had to via buffer from the output I see at the IE move paste the date directly into the DB at my home PC so as to it be readable (Cyrillic) and via IIS home all was all right. but when I uploaded the DB onto the server the Cyrillic again became bad Latin. Then I took the bad latin data from the DB I downloaded from the old forum place it into the new DB on my PC and again uploaded it at the server. and the changed word, which looks bad unreadable at my PC at the site was GOOD! I have forgotten to say that I add the <meta http-equiv='content-Type' content='text/html; charset=Windows-1251'> for output (mainly for offline work) and Response.Charset="Windows-1251" for ASP. so the problem is just with the info which is into the DB, the Cyrillic what writes by ASP itself is write for both cases. Maybe the problem is at the Session.LCID = 1033 what the config.asp has in it? And I need to change it for Cyrillic? If I don't solve the problem I have to again all the unreadable data handily replace from the downloaded old DB into new one (work for some days!)
That may as well be because of the different computer settings between your server and your PC. I've always used computers with the OS in English and never had conversion issues with my own language.
If you can find a PC with an english OS, so that you can do the conversion yourself, or even try to set your PC's regional and language, maybe that can avoid the conversion problems.
