Hi,
a multilingual website, made with eZ publish, now hast to support the russian language with cyrillic characters. As this didn't work, I switched the Database from ISO-8859-1-format to UTF-8 and changed this in the ini-Files of eZ publish too, but still I cannot handle cyrillic texts.
When pasting the text into the textarea, first it is displayed properly, but after saving the page, all characters become questionmarks. I didn't find a solution, yet. So I would be very thankful for each suggestion.
Kind regardsMorton

I am not sure if this will help.
Make sure that your .tpl files starts with
{*?template charset=utf8*}

Thanks, for your answer!
The problem could be solved. The mistake was quite simple: The tables of the database itself were converted to UTF-8, but some fields were still set to latin. After finding this out and chaning this, eZ publish worked fine again.
