+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!
