    Hello,

    Everything is fine with another language in my website : http://blog.enseignons.be
    BUT
    - there are some sentences that are directly in the code in English. Will it be fixed ?
    - when i want to create a new blog, special characters in French don't work anymore : http://blog.enseignons.be/wp-signup.php

    Thanks for your help

    encoding problem. it's likely you use an editor that encodes in iso and output page in utf8. To make sure this never happens, you need to write all special characters with their & something ; code (like é is & eacute ; )

    even in the title of my blogs in the admin panel ????

    well, if the encoding is the same in the admin panel and in the blog, that should not be necessary, but if they're different, then yes all characters need to be html encoded.

    they are different only for the signup page. For the rest, everything is fine ... That was the point of my question actually.

    I'm afraid I'm having the same problem with a copy of WordPressMu 1.0 downloaded on 12-30-06.

    I'm expanding the Hungarian language file for WordPress to support Mu 1.0. Accented characters display correctly on all pages - front-end and back-end - EXCEPT wp-signup.php, where all accented characters turn to gobbledy-gook.

    You can find my test install at http://proba.unitarius-halo.net/

    Forgive me for 'bumping' this string, but this seems to be a flaw in WordPressMu 1.0 and not merely an installation problem or a faulty .mo file and deserves attention.

    ps: Thanks for a great cms!
