Need handle multi language in Chinese/Japanese, but cannot display block in home page and make order.
check the exception.log seem :
exception 'Exception' with message 'Notice: iconv_strpos(): Detected an illegal character in input string '\lib\Zend\Locale\Format.php on line 899'
after debug ,
in the file \lib\Zend\Locale\Format.php on line 899:
if (iconv_strpos(strtoupper($number), strtoupper(Zend_Locale_Data::getContent($options['locale'], 'am'))) !== false)
find out the "strtoupper()" not handle Chinese/Japanese word well and this cause the issue....
use the mb_strtoupper() solved the issue (sure you had installed the "mbstring" module on the sever)
hope this help and save yr time.
