Hi,

Where ? In export ? In public statistics ?

LS version ?

Why put this in red ?

Both In export and In public statistics
Version 2.05 + Build 140226
i put this in red because I'm frustrated

I do a lot of test for arabic and admin stats, can you make a bug report with a lsa file ?

We have a lack of testing files in some language.

what lsa file mean ?
did you mean this file

Go to the respective survey, click on "display / export" --> "export" --> "survey arquive (lsa)"

this is LSA

You were not supposed to post it here, but in a bug report (see Denis post).

There it goes directly to the developers.

thanks

Last question How do I know
*Operating System (Server)
*Webserver software & version

Big issue here : DB is created with latin1_swedish_ci

With 1.92 and 2.00: it's OK : utf8_unicode_ci

When you report the bug, please put the link here. Before it's fixed : you can take the last 2.00 version.

Seems there are some lack of default collation in your DB.

Please try (if you use mysql)

And try : deactivate/reactivate

Hi,
If you don't know : just put your hoster name.

But we need to know 2 more things :
- Your DB server
- What is the version installed at start (because seems there are some fix when utdating)

Did you remind the process ? What version did you install ?

PS: here you can fix if you have access to your DB

ALTER DATABASE yourdbname DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
ALTER TABLE yourdbname.lime_survey_XXXX COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci
