Hey everyone, I have the following problem: I am writing a German Wiki and therefore use umlauts (ä,ö,ü…) quite often in my writing. When I am not using the browser for editing the wiki (or writing comments) everything is fine. Since I want other poeple to be able to post comments or use the discussion pages I need to get the encoding to work. Here is what is happening when I'm trying to edit a discussion page:
- Writing the comment:
- Checking the comment via the "preview":
- Pressing "cancel" since umlauts don't work:
As I said, when I'm not posting from the browser everything works fine. Here's what I've checked/done to prevent the encoding error:
- I put "export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8" and "export LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8" in my .bashrc
- I set "locale:" to "de_DE.UTF-8" in my ikiwiki .setup-File
What else could there be wrong? What else could I try to solve the problem?
Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks in advance!
What version of ikiwiki are you running? I believe this was fixed in ?version 3.20140916, with the patch from garbled non-ascii characters in body in web interface.
