The language of the Kingdom of Cambodia is Khmer.

It would have been great to have found Khmer localisation ready made, but this is of course too much to expect. Are there any (free) tools to facilitate the creation of a new locale? Where do I start? I do have basic knowledge of HTML and css and I am even digging into skins and modules at this moment.

Another  question: I need to add some fonts to fckeditor (regardless of the chosen locale: even if a Cambodian has chosen English as language, he may want to write Khmer text)

you can easily create your own language pack, using the built in language editor - as long as the language is contained in the language dropdown list, which holds all cultures supported by .Net framework. if you need to add an additional culture, there are instructions on MSDN (I remember, Vicenc posted the link in this forums years ago).

Khmer was not part of the languages that was included in USP10.DLL that came with Windows XP (but one could enable it if one had Office XP or 2003 ande copy USP10.dll from there to the system23 directory) But Windows XP has indeed no culture for Khmer. (We used CA for Catalan because the CA resembled Cambodia, to configure our keyboard)

Windows Vista comes with a new USP10.dll, even better than the one from Office.

If eat you say is correct, and dnn gets the available cultures from the Windows OS, then it will probably be from the host server(it is not from my computer, coz I'm running on Vista and have Khmer Unicode functioning though there still is a minor glitch). I have no control over that machine. Vincenc should therefore not hurry to find back that link... Does anyone have other suggestions?

Then there is still is the question of adding fonts to the editor. Currently, the only way to enter Khmer text in DNN is by typing it in a wordprocessor and then do copy/paste to the dnn editor. A lot of crap is inserted by the word processor but we have our Khmer website. If I could add a few Khmer fonts to the editor, it would simplify procedures enourmously and provide for cleaner code.

Updating my university's website to dnn 5.1.1 has caused me a lot of problems. The biggest of those come from my host (my account could backup the database but not restore and when the upgrade failed, I could not restore the database and am now recreating the site from scratch) but one seems to be related to dnn.

With dnn vs 4.xx.xx I was able to use Khmer in the menus. In vs 5,01.01 this is no longer possible. When I use a Khmer title for a page, it works for the first title, but the second page fails. Dnn says that this is adouble name on the same level. I was able to enter the page with an English name and then changing the name to Khmer, but when I tried to access a page in Khmer, all links brought me to the last page with a Khmer name or to the home page.

The menu system can no longer differenciate between different page names in Khmer. I have (temporarily) circumvented the problem by preceding the page names with an English number. Now it works, but this should not happen. It does not look nice.

Maybe I should wait until my host upgrades to Windows 2008. That's our fate here in Cambodia. We have to wait until the world realizes Cambodia is still on the map (even though Nixon tried to bomb it "into the stone-ages"-sic)

I have many problems waiting for an answer, but the most urgent one is how to include Khmer fonts into the font-dropdown box in the editor.

sure, localization has to happen on the server, and it is not only based on windows DLLs but also on ASP.Net supported cultures. There is a guide in MSDN, how to add an additional culture.

Regarding fonts, DNN uses unicode (UTF-8), if the font contains all local characters as well, it should display your text properly (please be aware, that fonts need to be installed locally on the client).

The problem with the fonts I solved. I located the files where the standard fonts were listed and added the Khmer fonts. One can expect from Khmer users who login in a Khmer (multi-language) website to have the Khmer fonts on their system. Instructions how to install support for Khmer unicode are provided. I am not much in favor of this solution, because it means I will have to add thos fonts every update of dnn, I guess. Yet, for now, it works.

The problem with the localisation for Khmer (km-KH) is something I will still have to solve. If the culture is available in Windows Vista, how do I get my host to provide it in ASP?

I've spent a few hours searching for the guide in MSDN and through search engines for that guide or other information on the availability of km-KH culture in ASP but I have not come up with the solution yet. It looks (from what I can find out) that support for Khmer should be there.

The problem of pages with names in Khmer not being able to recall in DNN is probably a bug, not related to localisation, I will look for a forum where to explain the bug, problem will be finding the proper forum.
