Hello I have a bug with internationalization. THat is when i change language in my preferences to ru(russian) i get ?????? instead of all menus. That is weird because all articles in russian are fine. PS. tried this on IE 6 and opera 7.5
This happens on which wiki? en? en: is a latin-1 wiki, Russian characters do not render in latin-1.
in wiki witch is instaled on http://www.wikipedia.org/. The problem is that then i change interface language from english to russian (in preferences) it shows ??? ? instead of menu items. For example: Sandrejev@gmail.comMy talkPreferencesMy watchlistMy contributionsLog out looks like this in russian Sandrejev@gmail.com???? ?????????????????????? ?????? ????????????? ?????????? ?? ??????? And I'm sure that it's not an encoding problem because I tried different encodings.(In reply to comment #1) > This happens on which wiki? en? > en: is a latin-1 wiki, Russian characters do not render in latin-1.

Yes, it's an encoding issue. en.wikipedia.org and a few others are currently encoded in 8- bit Latin-1 and cannot include Russian characters in literal output. The Russian text, when selected, is downconverted from UTF-8 to Latin-1 which fails, producing "?"s on output. This is fixed in MediaWiki 1.5, which will convert the remaining Latin-1 wikis to UTF-8. Resolving as FIXED, fixed-in-cvs.
