The current encoding used in the public section of the site is determined using the php constant LANG_CHARSET substituted to the site template header area.

When applying a template to the site, the value of encoding parameter set in the site settings is requested. The constant LANG_CHARSET is given a value equal to the value of the encoding parameter.

Example of the code used to establish page encoding is provided below:

< head >
…
< meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=< ?echo LANG_CHARSET? >" >
…
< head >
