There is an interesting article at: http://blog.thinkphp.de/archives/342-Multilingual-Websites-with-PHP.html It covers things that may explain your display problems: [ excerpt: ] "There are several places where you can specify the character encoding for you pages: XML declaration, HTML meta tag, HTTP Content- Type header. It is important to specify the same encoding in all definitions. You should not leave out a definition because this can result in the browser trying to guess the encoding from the informations available. You can for example send your document with UTF-8 definition only in the HTTP header. But if you save that document to disk and display the saved file, the browser is missing the encoding and has to guess, which does not always work well..."
