There is an excellent German community, I don't know why don't you ask there. Anyway, since we've started here, typically this happens when the platform (OS and the web server) are not configured for your locale, de_DE or whatever. Since you mention an upgrade, this is not the cause, since you must be on the same platform.

So the next question is how exactly did you upgrade? Could you post the link to the doc page? Have you by any chance took a DB dump and transferred it over a Windows machine and then restored?

What is your (server) platform, BTW?

That sounds complicated. Pl. compare your notes with the official upgrading document https://docs.moodle.org/400/en/Upgrading.

Hi Rolf

I don't your method having any relation to https://docs.moodle.org/en/Upgrading !

Never mind, now your problem is something different I understand. You can't upload users who have German special characters in their names, for example. Pl. attache a sample CSV file here so that we can investigate the character coding.

Copy-and-paste in to the editor destroys formatting. What i meant was to _attach_ a CSV file.
