I just upgraded from cpg1.3.2 to 1.4.9. Seems to work fine, but I'm having trouble with character encoding of my local characters ĉĝċ. If I use unicode, it will look alright in the interface (buttons and so on, using Norwegian language file) - but image names, descriptions, comments will be messed up. If I use western encoding, its the other way around.

Any way I can have both? (that is, just have all ĉĝċ's right - not using both encodings at the same time)

Ok, I found a post about using charsetmgr.php - but I'm not quite sure how.

When I use western charset on my site, I get this error:
"The iconv function is not available. You cannot use this script. Coppermine will now run in English.
You may install iconv and start this script again. You should now proceed to the main page."

When I use unicode, it tells me there's nothing to fix:
"Your site is already configured to use utf-8. You don't need this script and should leave this page."

Yes, I woud like to write for the same issue. My problem is the same the encoding. I tried to fix the problem but finally I decided to ask help. You can see the album here and the problems with language encoding.

Use charsetmgr.php to convert your non utf-8 textual content to utf-8.

Just to let you know that albanian language is allready utf-8. So I traied to convert to iso-8859-1. It is the right way?

You need to convert from your regional encoding to UTF-8. If you don't have iconv then you can't do it this way.

I changed the charset code in albanian.php from utf-8 to iso8859 and I try again:

You mustn't!

I know that in version 1.4, we will have to choose code utf-8 but in my case did not go. I had to give the code of the country (iso-8859-1) to fix the issue.
