[SOLVED] Forms not accepting local languate inputs

Hello,

Feld form not accepting inputs in local language basically its changes to (????) after saving.

please find enclosed herewith before and after screen shots.

Ensure your database is properly configured with UTF8 collations. If it's not then UTF8 characters won't save. Your alternative is to use an English language key (e.g. MY_FIELD) then use language overrides shown below to translate it.

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for quick response. are you talking about utf8_general_ci to change at database and for underneath tables and columns?

Hi Kyle, I like your second solution too and configured few field labels as per your link but somehow its not working.
Please find attached document.

It's recommended to use utf8mb4_unicode_ci collation. Yes, all tables and their columns should be set to this.

You need to add the language overrides to the loaded language plugin. You added them to Default which is English, but you also have a language plugin for hi-IN installed and if that's loaded your default language overrides won't be applied.

Use the language finder below the language overrides to find core language strings to override. For custom fields it's recommended to use a language key (e.g. FIELD_ADDITIONAL_INFO) and override the key.

Two more questions on this.
1. I have installed hi-IN (order 2) plugin and translation is available there too, then why its picking translation from en-GB (order 3).
2. Why my custom defined fields (defined using field management) are not available in language key for translation?
