[Lang. Problem] Seeing gibberish instead of Hebrew.
 

Hi there
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, and my problem is that when I change the language to Hebrew, I get gibberish letters. Like in these photos:


Selecting Hebrew Language

The Gibbrish letters as a result



kindly help me :teeth:

I noticed that you're not using most up to date BS.Player version.
Therefore...
maybe first try an updated language file: http://peterg.coi.co.il/תרגום-BSPlayer.htm ( http://forum.bsplayer.com/40907-post7.html ).
Only if that doesn't help read on...
This maybe related to a known bug in the last three builds.
As a temporary solution:
Under (rightclick >) Options > Preferences > Subtitles [Subtitle properties] ...
(1) ... verify setting of the box "Use new subtitle parser/renderer"; try if (de)selection makes any difference.
(2) ... verify what script is selected under [Font]; if (e.g.) Western .. change it to correct script.
:wink:
Another possibility is to load the file Hebrew.lng (in subfolder "lang" of BS.Player's installation folder) in Notepad. Without making any changes click on "File" > "Save as" and verify at the bottom what Encoding is selected (e.g. UTF-8 or ANSI). Now change this setting and save file.
:wink:
(Please let us know the result!)

Thank you,
saving the lang format in various formats [UTF-8, UNICODE]
- proved a success .......

BUT:
it's partly ok,
the prefrences menu is still in gibberish:

Partly Hebrew Partly gibberish

Did you meanwhile update BS.Player version/build?
Are you now using the more up-to-date language-file (or the adapted old one as included in the distribution)?
:wink:

Thank u very much - problem solved while trying each and every coding method :)

[even while still using my older BSplayer build]

:teeth:

And what encoding did eventually solve it? I suppose either ANSI or UTF-8 (with "Byte Order Mark") as suggested by me?
:wink:

it was indeed UTF-8, the tricky and minor detail was changing the extension back to .lang , because after editing the lagauge file with notepad, even when I chose 'save as all files', it kept the file it in a .txt form.

i dont understand, however the meaning of (with "Byte Order Mark")

Byte order mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
:wink:

I was able to solve this problem
 

After trying everything in this thread, the last thing I tried that seemed to work was surprisingly just changing the font from Ariel to a different hebrew-supporting font (Calibri, David, Guttman etc.) and of course having the script option on Hebrew.
Hope it helps anyone :)
