and the search no produce results, for example, in where must be "ampliación" puts "ampliacin" and the search is null: http://www.fotosdesarria.com/thumbnails-search-ampliacin.html = "No image to display"

how i can solve this?

Set your gallery offline to avoid new comments being posted during your administration changes. Then set your encoding to utf-8 (unicode) in coppermine's config. Next, use charsetmgr to convert your existing textual content inside your database to utf-8. It's advisable to create a backup (mysql dump) of your database before converting in case anything goes wrong. Finally, set your gallery back online. All subsequent comments will be in utf-8, you you won't have to convert anything again. Even comments posted in languages you normally don't use (like chinese or hebrew) would be displayed correctly - your gallery would truely be mutlilingual.
