I have finished new Russian translation.
As the 1.4.x branch uses UNICODE I set:
$lang_charset = 'utf-8';
Then I go to Config panel and set
Gallery name and Gallery description
in Russian letters.
Then I swtich to English language and... I see abracadabra in Gallery name and Gallery description.
In config panel option:
Language & Charset settings -> Character encoding is set to Unicode (recommended) (utf-8)
When I look into HTML source when English language selected I see:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
But my browser doesn't set charset correctly... It sets Auto-Select to "Windows-1251" :( :( :(
When I swtich to Russian language and look into HTML source I see the same string:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
But my browser sets Auto-Select of charset correctly to UTF-8 :o
Where is the problem?

I found where was the problem.
In php.ini of the server there was code:
; As of 4.0b4, PHP always outputs a character encoding by default in
; the Content-type: header. To disable sending of the charset, simply
; set it to be empty.
;
; PHP's built-in default is text/html
default_mimetype = "text/html"
default_charset = "windows-1251"
So I just disable sending of the charsert.
As the text says you have to set this line empty:
default_charset = ""
I think this issue can be added to the FAQ.
Thanks.

Best would be to add a line in init.inc.php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
This because all browsers, except IE, prefer the header fields instead of the meta tags

That's already been added to 1.4.3, it's in the theme's pageheader() function.

In other words you want to say, that when 1.4.3 will came out there will be no such problem I have with
default_charset = "windows-1251"
?
So even I will have
default_charset = "windows-1251"
in php.ini
1.4.3 will work ok?

The setting you added will just be ignored, it will work fine.
