TYPO3 Core

i have narrowed the problem a bit down:

the server is "understanding" utf-8 right.
the file is saved as utf-8 right.
the template gets loaded into mailformplus correctly.
the content type of the page is utf-8.
static_info_tables has the current version

it seems that the core is not "understanding" utf-8, though locale_all is set right in our language typoscript file.

Special chars in german work without a problem, its just languages like russian or japanese, that cause problems.

"Fastfix", works for 80% of the words in russian:

if($_GET['L'] == '9') {
$langMarkers['###LLL:'.$marker.'###'] = recode_string("utf-8..windows-1251", $GLOBALS['TSFE']->sL('LLL:'.$this->langFile.':'.$llKey));
} else {
$langMarkers['###LLL:'.$marker.'###'] = trim($GLOBALS['TSFE']->sL('LLL:'.$this->langFile.':'.$llKey));
}

And yes, i know this is a hack, and not clean.

simpler fix:

$langMarkers['###LLL:'.$marker.'###'] = recode_string("utf-8..{$GLOBALS['TSFE']->labelsCharset}", $GLOBALS['TSFE']->sL('LLL:'.$this->langFile.':'.$llKey));
