Hi there!
I have written the WikiTimeLine extension and a nice user has translated the interface to chinese. But now I have a problem: How do I translate those chinese signs into ANSI Text characters for the wikitimeline.i18n.php message storage file? I have seen that Wikipedia splits those signs into ANSI characters, but I haven't found any way to decode those chinese signs!
Any possible way in php and/or javascript would be ok, I can quickly program such a little helping tool... I just don't know how. I have tried a bit around, but I didn't found the right way to do.
All MediaWiki files use UTF-8 encoding, not ANSI. If you're using UTF-8-capable programs, you should be able to just copy and paste into the files and save. If you're using some trash like Notepad, that may not work correctly.
