Pinkbike just switched to the UTF-8 character set. This means that the whole world can now post and comment in their own character set.
Welcome to Pinkbike. Bikers of the world unite!

I'm sure you have all seen comments sometimes become unreadable because of question marks or other junk characters taking over, but now we have fixed all that.
I'm pretty sure there will be some hiccups so if you see something weird please comment below.
Also all those international please try your characters in the comments below.
Thanks

Sweet! Now people will post in their own language!
And other people wont be able to read what they say...

great job! whenever i tried to write in french, all the accented characters went crazy. this is a great improvement, making pinkbike more multi-lingual than it already was.
the only problem is that there will now be little pockets of riders because no-one will be able to join in witht he conversation
lots of people already talk in other languages. most people here no some english, so now if they dont how to say it in english, they just say so, and type it in another language
Sweet, I can now swear in another language and it won't mess it up so it means something random like cupcake 
great now everyones gonna post messages in different languages leaveing me in the dark as to wat was said
I think now what Pinkbike should do is on any foreign language comment or forum post etc. they should have like some sort of way to translate to english, like a translate button on the side of the comment or something, I just think it would be a way of keeping us all in touch and could understand better.
danscott, do you know how inaccurate most translators are? they dont know how to properly compose sentences or if theres a word with several translations, it cant figure out what to put in its place, so english becomes just as confusing...
besides, people know that the magority here is english, and if they want answers to their questions, they have to post in english.

I guess you right because I don't know how inaccurate translators are but i do know that some people on this site sometimes get really mad to some people that don't wright in English, it was just a thought.
haha, no probs, but translators create their own language. translate a sentence into another language, then back to english, and 99% of the time, itll be completely different
thank you for you insightful comment china man, the 10 chinese ppl on pinkbike are sure to be laughing
actually im korean..and i have noooo idea how to work my korean fonts on the keypad..so i just garbled it up there..and i have no idea why i changed my name to china man..
Fan vad gött att vi kan använda å ä och ö utan att det blir massa konstiga tecken! Tack Pinkbike! Thanks!

Thats portuguese man, it has some "similarities", but at the end it's different, example:
Portuguese:
este canadiano é tao nabo quem nem sabe distinguir a bandeirinha espanhola da nossa.
Spanish:
éste canadiense es tan idiota que no sabe distinguir la bandera española de la nuestra.
English:
This canadian is so stupid that he can't even differentiate the Spanish flag from ours.
P.S. by the way, I'm mexican, not spanish.

In case you didn't look at my profile to watch it... than it 's nice that you know my flag. (And thank you)I had to look at your profile, because I didn't know your flag. But now I know it. You're Costa Rican.

I liked the bikers of the world part.
It probably won't affect me but sounds like a good idea due to our increased international presence.
Keep it up PB.

ahaha le Quentos qui dit Salope ! C'est bon ça on a même les cédilles ! Salop/Salope meaning Bitch a*shole to be accurate
yes great
but I think, this is page for "Bikers of the world" and we have to use English, because this is international language... to understand all of comments and posts 
good call
i think people that speak english seem to forget that not all these other people on here speak english to.
maybe we should be givin negative props for speaking english
its a 2 way street guys... everyones gota share the space

megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért. ------The longest Hungarian word with the right characters.
f*ckit this is great!
34 letter vs. 44 letter. AAnnd the wiineeer iiiiiiis:
megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért
BTW. the worlds longest word is in some kind of northern language. It's just a bit longer than two normal sentences.

megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért
uhh.. something like "for your unprofanabilty" but it's untranslateable. Well.. my language is probably the most difficult european language, so... 
hahahahahaaaa.... weeelll.... I know somebody who lives here in Hungary for more than 20 years and he couldn't learn the language. And let me tell you, that person isn't some silly shit. He can talk if he really has to, but with tons of mistakes...
If this is your first language than you don't find it difficult, but if somebody else has to learn it, who didn't use this kind of grammatical structure before... well I think it's not easy. And I don't think that there are too mutch languages in the world (if there is any other) with a structure like this.

I think chemistry wins. And I think in every language it has about 190,000 letters. BTW we are so kiddish. 
but I don't care too mutch...
Xd yah chemistry wins for sure. Yeah you're probably right there. I remember coming to Canada not knowing a word of english XD Now instead of struggling in english i suck at French >.
Just getting some of the bugs out. There are a few issues. One, the new mysql 5.1 seems to be garbage. So just reverted back to 5.0.
Nope I'm just testing Poland collation.

im a little bit confused but i can help in a few languages na lol wii or non/gracias! 3years of languages didnt help me lol too many drawings off bikes
Es como más bien para idiomas que tengan caracteres especiales, como el Chino, Árabe y demás. Lo del español se soluciona poniendo el teclado en español, pero como tú vives en España, para ti es más fácil.
no ja nie wiem. w tym temacie widzę polskie znaki, a w komentarzach przy innych zdjęciach nie widzę. a do tego zniknelo moje miasto z wyszukiwarki ??!!! o_O

fajnie,że są polskie znaczki

the reason that you are restricted to a username of only a-z and numbers is that you username becomes a real domain name as in username.pinkbike.com
Domain names have this restriction, so we need to preserve that.

yes if you actually put in http://kerékpár.hu in your browser, you see that you actually go to http://kerekpar.hu/ Without the extended characters.
Yeeeah... It's a song
But I got to know with a Mexican guy in the gym an he'll probably teach me some phrases. But you were right. It's a song by RAMMSTEIN
No, I mean, you are in the right. Puta means prostitute, but please do note it is also possible to say prostituta in Spanish (with an "a" at the end of it instead of the "e"). Puta is just a swearing word for prostitute, so whore, bitch if you like, would be closer to the mark.

I may not understand anything any of you have said in your languages, and I may be twice snowgirl90's age, but anything that encourages 18 year old Finnish girls to be more involved with pinkbike has got to be a good thing.
I thinking of the rest of you, mind you.

Will there be seperate areas for languages in the forum so that people who dont speak that language know so they can look else where in the forum for an answer.
No. It is rather gonna be pretty much like you post your question in English but it is some guy in Russia commenting on it by the likes of it. How do you like it? Cool, ain´t it?
Geil! Endlich kann ich auch auf deutsch schreiben und keiner versteht ein Wort... let the Pinkbike chaos begin ^^
Looks like everyones stoked about this! haha it probally wont affect me, but i think this is great milestone for pb and to help out the international side of things good job pb!!!
i better not see neg props to people that dont speak english, such as on a picture in that country... thats always pissed me off
I could not agree more. Moreover, you go down that road, and there is a chance, however little it might actually be, you will be missing something valuable in a way. This is pretty much like when that guy told me the other day that if God did not exist, anything could be done as no punishment will be brought upon you at the end of time. What I did reply to him though is that, if that was the case, all the more reason to be particularly cautious not to harm people as this will leave them without compensation. Confused people do really put me through hard times; at times, in a way.
No, what I mean to say is they are confused. But again, this is a bike forum and every other person should be welcomed. The only thing I am saying is people should not turn other people down on the account they do not understand what they are saying. Please do note this attitude is both harmful for you and others. If I told you in Chinese "get out of the way, a massive truck is about to run you over" and you went like "come again?", you will surely die man.
true. i just hated seeing like, polish people commenting on a polish picture, and them having -50 props or something
Yes dude: you just need to set up your keyboard in the right language. I use both, Spanish and English, so I've got the language bar set up for this purpose. If you just write in English, there is a chance you haven't installed your French version yet (I mean, into your computer). Here is the proof: vérité révelée
[Reply]
[Reply]
By the way, this is only a revamp: everything is gonna be the same. It is just that people who speak other languages will now be able to post in their own language using their own characters and stuff.
Si, es buena idea porque el inglés no tiene porqué dominarlo todo y a cada cual le gusta hablar el idioma que hablan en casa.
Since your guys are running your ads through Google Services...is this adaptable to have a built in translation now that the ditation is better???? Can that be done through theM?

Let's give this a whirl.
Reméljük végre működnek rendesen itt az ékezetek, már ideje volt hogy csináljanak valamit ezzel a problémával. áéöüóőúű

Glad to hear we got a nice big update... Although, I wish I could speak/ read/ write another language so I could take advantage of this...
