Quite a while ago I looked at the settings needed to have the backend in UTF-8 and the frontend in whatever you want. The results were: Make sure the db tables are utf-8, in the backend set: [BE][forceCharset] = utf-8 [SYS][setDBinit] = SET NAMES utf8; SET CHARACTER SET utf8; sets the connection collation to the collation of the default database and that might be different on occassions... http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/charset-connection.html -- Jigal van Hemert. _______________________________________________ TYPO3-english mailing list TYPO3-english@lists.netfielders.de http://lists.netfielders.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/typo3-english
