Japanese course garbles title in IE/Firefox Tab

Hi Greg & welcome to Heroes,

Have you changed the character set of your presentation?

Open your presentation in PowerPoint.

Navigate to Articulate > Presentation Options.

Select the Publish tab.

Select either Western or Non-Western from the Choose character set for the Articulate player drop-down list.

Click the OK button

If you continue to have issues, please follow all of the recommendations in the link below:

If you still have issues, you may need to change the character encoding in the player.html file.  You can do this by opening the player.html file in Notepad and updated or appending the character encoding (or charset).

New Computer, same issue:

I have:

1. Changed the language in the Player template to Simple Chinese

2. Changed the presentation options to non western

3. Changed the font to Arial Unicode MS

4. Changed Windows 7 language to simple Chinese. Still I get this:

Hi Greg,

There's a similar solution noted here:

You might need to edit the "title" location in the player.html file.

I left this on the post from above. I followed that suggestion and still no luck. My problem is not in engage, but Presenter. here is what I did with no luck: Can you please take a look?

Hi Greg,

You probably need to change the character encoding in the player.html file.  Would you mind zipping your published output & upload it to me here?

In the subject, put Attention Brian Batt and the file will come straight to me.  I should be able to figure out what needs to be added.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Here is how it was resolved. The problem ended up being the Player.html file. I had to tweak it a little. Thanks team!

Here is what I was asked to do and it worked.

Thanks for sending your Articulate Presenter Package.Publishing this, when I viewed the output, the Articulate presentation properlydisplays the non-western characters, but only the title/tab in the browserdisplays it incorrectly.

Therefore, the issue is with the player.html file, sinceit is not being rendered properly in the browser. Checking the player.html, ifyou open this in Notepad, you'll notice that under the Title tag, thenon-western character is not properly displayed. Also, the character encoding(charset tag) is not set to UTF-8 (Unicode).

To resolve the issue, a workaround is to manually changethis character encoding tag (charset) to 'UTF-8', and also manually change theTitle tag to the non-western title (create a backup of the original player.htmlfile first). After editing the player.html file in Notepad, save the file.You'll be prompted that the file contains Unicode text, and that you need tochange the format to retain the Unicode information. Click the Cancel button,then in the Save As dialog box, select UTF-8 (or Unicode) under the Encodingdrop-down menu, then save the player.html file. If you open this in a browser,it should now properly display the non-western title in the Title bar or Tab ofthe browser.
