Captcha and french = Error 500

bernhard1701 19 Apr, 2016
Hi Bob, I'm encountering a really strange problem:
I set up a very simple contact form in English, German and French.
Wit en and de it#s working perfect, but if I switch to French, the captcha image doesn't show and the console shows
GET http://innovation-yachts.com/index.php/fr/?option=com_chronoforms5&act=rend…it%C3%A9&chronoform=Kontaktformular&action_id=4&tvout=ajax&rand=1045907998 500 (Internal Server Error)

As the site is under development and offline, I have to provide you with credentials to look at this. I'll PM you

HI Bernhard,

This part of the URL looks odd &act=rend…it%C3%A9 is it the same for other languages?

The problem seem to be the translation
_captcha=Test de sécurité
Seems that it doesn't like the acutes on the "e" ?

For now I changed french to "Captcha" but would be interesting wether accents can break the url?

Hi Bernhard,

Fixed now I think. What was happening was that the Locale placeholder _captcha was being translated in the URL that creates the Captcha image preventing the image being created. I changed the placeholder to ##captcha## and the problem has gone away.
