Display of non-latin symbols as subs... help!

Mon Sep 24, 2007 7:05 pm

Hi!

I download greek subs for different movies, but all I see is
ÐÞãá íá ôï ÷Üóù ðñéí.
Äåí Þîåñá ôé ìïõ ãßíåôáé.
Same when I try arabic or chinese.
How can I display them properly? All latin subs work...

Thx,
agi

Btw: Using ZoomPlayer

This is because your file editor cannot properly detect the encoding, it opens it with latin CP1252 encoding by default.
So you have to use an editor that lets you manually chose the encoding.

Open the Greek file with Microsoft Word, and select the "Greek (Windows)" encoding or any other that will show the proper text.
Then select UTF-8 when saving the file, like this you won't have any further problems.

In a general manner, all 8-bit encoding are obsolete for non-latin, systematically save your files as UTF-8 (provided you don't use an archaic video reader).
