Summary	0007406: Handing of accents not working using UTF8
Description	Whenever I used accentuated characters (such as 'é') in mantis, my entry gets truncated at the first non-ascii character. For example, I'm trying to add the "Démographie" category to a project and it ends up adding "D".
Additional Information	I'm runing MySQL4.12 using UTF8 under a gentoo linux setup. Rebuilding the tables using latin1 has mantis return mysql encoding errors (Illegal mix of collations (latin1_general_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE)) I've setup mantis under a windows setup that runs in latin1 and there's no problem with accents there. I'm guessing the issue is with the UTF8 encoding. Other php applications running on the machine use (and need) UTF8 and are working properly.
Tags	No tags attached.

themaze75 2006-08-30 22:40 reporter ~0013346	Thank you very much for the prompt answer! I had, indeed, not done this. I've added an extra language resource in UTF and modified the configuration and it worked properly. I suppose this means I'll have to remember to reconvert language files in future Mantis updates. I'll note it down in upgrade procedures. Do you have any plans for better built-in support/error message to help with this issues in future versions?
