Language specific characters, hurting the seo? inherent issue of prestashop?


Recommended Posts

There's a recent fix on language specific characters issue. Thank you, so far, so good.

However, there is another issue. The same problem persists throughout the cart. I am sure other languages are affected by this either

My website (htt://www.alyanschi.com) is in turkish.

For instance, the word "silver" is "Gümüş" in turkish, when the page is rendered, everything is fine.

But when I look at the source code, the word gümüş appears as a bunch of "& uum l" s and garbled chars. (it appears as "G&uu;ml m&uum;l ş") (I ommited the semi colons in this post on purpose). Same goes for all language specific characters.

Unfortunately, I do not think any web spider is that clever. I would definitley hurt my seo.

Furthermode, the pages cannot be html validated saying "Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 500 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding"

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.alyanschi.com/&charset;=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&verbose=1&user;-agent=W3C_Validator/1.606



Anyone who is familiar with such stuff may be can inform us more in this issue or advise a fix.

thank you.
