Human check (captcha) string not visible in other languages

Hi,

On comment and review product page I have problem that generated image of a string is not showing in languages other than English. Besides this language packs are working fine.

English
Image

All other languages
Image


Any thoughts what could be causing it?

I did some digging and it seems that languge localisation should not play any role in generating capcha image

This is part of code inside \catalog\controller\information\contact.php
that seems to be responsible for generating image, and I don't see anything laguage specific about it...

Code: Select all

public function captcha() {
		$this->load->library('captcha');
		
		$captcha = new Captcha();
		
		$this->session->data['captcha'] = $captcha->getCode();
		
		$captcha->showImage();
	}
Any tip on where to look is welcome

OK, do you still use default theme? the language related to character encoding, default theme use UTF-8 already, did you change it? and what is you store link?

Just to report back that I partially solved problem by changing encoding of main lanuage file from UTF-8 to ANSI and now captcha is working.

Still it would be good to hear from someone if its possible somehow to use UTF-8 encoded main language file, because with ANSI I lost some lnaguage specific caracters like č,ć,đ...

Thanx

yeah, from the beginning i think this issue is about encoding character, may i know what language do you use? if you can't type your language normally in php language file, then use html encoding, e.g. for & ==> & usually start with &, i use macromedia dreamweaver and it automatically appear.

I hade the same problem and solved it. Save the file in UTF-8 whitout BOM. To do that you can not use Windows notepad. It´s saving some strange charachters in the beginning of the file. "Wordpad" works fine for me.

I'm having this problem only on the review section (it's fine in the contact us page). Tried the encoding thing with language files (the general english.php and the product.php) and still not showing. Any other ideas?

Running Opencart v3.0.3.2 with multi-stores and the default template from https://www.labeshops.com which has links to all my stores.

Same problem, tried the encoding trick but without any result. I can't seem to be able to find any form of logging which might help me in this case.
