Bug #14853

Japanese language extension does not work with UTF-8
Added by Jorgo S. almost 19 years ago.
Updated almost 18 years ago.
Description
On installing the Japanese language extension for the backend and switching to Japanese, there are several display problems when
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["BE"]["forceCharset"] = 'utf-8'
is set.
Japanese language is only displayed correctly when this variable is not activated, i.e. when the page encoding is set to Shift_JIS.

There are 3 known bugs in the FE with utf-8. All are somehow related to JavaScript. These are:
1. getUpdateJS: broken when using UTF-8 and IE
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=277
2. JSMENU broken when using UTF-8
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=1030
3. Editpanel confirm dialogs (del/hide) don't display umlauts/etc
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=1472
On all of those 3 bugs there is a patch named:
utf8_JS_2005-10-22.patch
attached. These patch should fix the mentioned 3 issues. If you have another problem please describe it exactly. If the patches work for you also report back so we know they work fine. Also report any problems you have with the patches.
The issue persists in Typo3 4.0beta2.
The submenus on the left are misaligned (to the right, instead of to the left), which leads to the fact that only the symbols are visible. Headers (Web, Setup, etc.) are shown fine.
Menu items on brownish background are not in utf-8 and thus garbled.

Update: Sorry, screenshot was posted to leecher-secure area :-)
I am ashamed to confess that this particular problem seems to be related to a database problem.
I`ve tried with an empty 4.0beta2 database and the menu shows just fine there. I guess it must have something to do with tables that keep showing up in the database analyzer no matter how often I run compare.
Please close this topic.
If anybody feels generous enough to try and resolve the database compare problem with me, please drop me a line.

Probably this also solved your problems.
Update: Menu looks fine in IE, in Firefox it still looks like on the screenshot provided. However, even in IE, the text in the brownish boxes is garbled (wrong encoding).
I am not dismissing that there might be a conflict with some extension.
My latest patch "bug_1270.diff" should fix the problem.
Just a single line at the correct place :)
I also fixes the charset issue in modules like the user setup module
greets,
Bernhard
