I tried translating the iotds file on LaunchPad to see if I could get better results than the ocportal built-in tool. I downloaded the languages tarball and put the iotds-ja.po file in the lang_custom/JA folder. The first thing I noticed was that the string for the Japanese text was missing. Upon checking the .po, I found that the strings were all blank. Not to be discouraged, I filled in the strings with Japanese text. When checking the site with Firefox, i noticed that "Auto-Detect : Japanese" was not working, and I had to select "View:Character Encoding:Unicode (UTF-8)" each time I loaded the page, even if UTF-8 was already selected as the character encoding in Firefox. Strange. Also, I still can't get a Japanese RSS feed to display properly. How do I do that ? I changed lang/EN/global.ini to utf-8 character encoding, but that did not work. Is that related to the MySql database in anyway? Not sure what I have to change and where. If someone could post a checklist of things to do for foreign language support it would be helpful. Thank you. Additional: In Configuration, I turned off Language Caching under Site Options and I cant get it to turn back on. I check mark it, apply it, "your action was successful", I return to Site Options, Language Caching is unchecked. The site is now sloooow. Maybe a bug ?

Good news: I forgot to mention you need global-ja.po to be there, even if it empty. You don't need to tell the browser the character set, ocPortal sets it itself. For testing I put &keep_lang=JA on my URL to make it use Japanese, but I could have also edited my profile, or changed the default site language. p.s. I love to see non-Western languages in ocPortal, especially pretty ones  .

I had to approve the IOTD translations you'd done. It is set to 'open' translation so I don't think I have to, but I think you might have asked for them to be reviewed via the checkbox under the strings. I'm not sure, I don't have a lot of experience with Launchpad even though I'm set as the project admin.
