Foreign Characters Not Supported on Customer Portal - Custom Tabs

THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

Knowledgebase version 8.2 Hot Fix 2

ISSUE DESCRIPTION:

The foreign characters are not showing correctly when using custom tabs due to custom tabs not being localized.

ROOT CAUSE:

The custom tabs are not localized, and don’t support the display of actual foreign characters.

SOLUTION OR WORK AROUND:

Instead of using the actual character in the text, use the HTML code for that specific character. A list of German and French characters can be found here:
http://webdesign.about.com/od/localization/l/blhtmlcodes-de.htm
http://webdesign.about.com/od/localization/l/blhtmlcodes-fr.htm

If your content has the actual character in the text, use Notepad or a similar tool to do a Find/Replace and change the special character for the HTML code for that character.

AFFECTED SYSTEMS & USERS:

Knowledgebase version 8.2 HF2 Administrators and Internal Users.
