Hi Detlef,
Tapestry automatically encodes as entities all special (disallowed) HTML characters, such as '<', '>', etc, as well as all characters with unicode codes above 127. Those include umlauts, cyrillic, Chinese chars, etc. The characters above 127 are encoded using '&#xxx;'.
This is what it seems you need, if I understand correctly. If you want to use unicode (utf-8), which would allow you to show all types of languages on the same page, there is some more info at this page:
http://tapestry.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/EnablingUnicode
If you are still having problems, please check whether your text files and templates are encoded to show the unicode symbols, rather than some other charset. You might need to use 'native2ascii' -- see the tool documentation in the JDK for more info.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
the java.net.URLEncoder does the encoding of urls (MIME:
x-www-form-urlencoded) to preserve the parameters in URLs, it does not
encode special characters to their corresponding HTML Entities, which is
something quite different.
cheers,
