Hi,
I know his problem was solved already since Moodle 1.8. it worked in Moodle 1.9.3 (our very old prod. system), in the Versions 1.9.8 and 1.9.16 it doesn't show the corect month name for March (German: März): look at the end of this thread.
I tested setting locale to all server (Solaris 10) given char sets
de_DE
de_DE.ISO8859-1
de_DE.ISO8859-15
de_DE.ISO8859-15@euro
de_DE.UTF-8
de_DE.UTF-8@euro
with no effect.
What do I have to change so 'März' is shown correct?
Cheers,
Monica
If you search for "locale" in the administration block, do you have something in the "locale" field? If so, try clearing it out and saving. Then it should use the correct setting based on the language of the user.
I just did this today on a solaris server.
Hi Brian!
Thanks for answering, I cleared the locale field already, and tried all the locale settings one by one as well, but the problem still exists.
Setting the browser to UTF8 the calendar looks ok, but the umlauts in text look weird.
I tried to set the locale in the Admin.block to UTF8 but nothing happened. Do I always have to restart apache?
Cheers,
Monica
I guess you'd need to restart apache after installing a new locale in the operating system, but should not need to after changing the value of the locale field in Moodle.
Is it possible that your Moodle is not serving UTF-8? What is the Content-Type response header from your Moodle?
Hi Brian,
what's Content-Type response header?
Where do I find Content-Type response header, with Firebug?
Have a nice weekend!
Cheers,
Monica
Monica, are still having that problem?
Firebug would let you see the Content-Type, yes. Or with Developer Tools in the Chrome browser. Someplace in there, you can see the request for a page from moodle, and in one of the detail views you can see the headers. The response headers are where you will find the Content-Type header.
Hi Brian!
Yes, the problem is still there until April and then next year the same,...
I'll try to figure out the content type and post th results here if I can find something, till end of March.
Cheers,
Monica

It seems that moodle charset is correkt but the calendar module ignores the setting.
But where is the code where this is ignored? Do you have any idea?
Cheers,
Monica
Hi Monica,
sorry for a long silence ... I don't get mails from these forums because it's just an overload for me, and we can't limit the email to a single discussion.
I really don't know what the problem is, since you have the de_DE.UTF-8 locale installed on your solaris server.
You may want to open a bug in the Moodle Tracker; perhaps the calendar maintainer would have an insight into the problem.
Cheers,
Brian
Hi Brian,
I don't think this problem will be fixed for 1.9 anymore, nor a patch will be made as the support for 1.9 will stop in June.
Thanks for helping!
Cheers,
Monica
