Once again thanks for the help. I have used setlocale before. But the thing is where would be the right place to call the setlocale function? For the moment I just want the whole application to be in Spanish, so setting the locale on a per user basis seems overkill to me. Calling the setlocale function on my view will result in the function being called every time the page is rendered, and to me that seems wrong. What is your opinion.
For the moment I added the code to the controller and it works. But it introduces a new problem. When I set the locale it set the preferred encoding to cp.1252 and that displays wrong! I'll keep on looking for a solution to make this work. Thanks.
