[opencms-dev] Do you want to use directory translation?

I will give you even more by time. I just say IE 5.

     -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 |   no                     |   not working
                               --

I also tried once -Dfile.encoding=iso-8859-1 (yes, don't use!), the
results were the analogous if i recall correctly, but I didn't check again.

Where does the error appear?
When importing the workspace or when reading from database?

Can you tell me? Or will it be in the release notes? I am just
curious. Was this also the reason why some had problems editing a site,
because the content wasn't encoded correctly in the JavaScript-functions
responsible for displaying and so the pages couldn't be saved, because
there was this JavaScript-Error? I have this errors using IE 5.

What charset is used for saving content entered in the editor-windows
(wysiwyg and/or source-code)?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> -> iso-8859-1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>      -> utf-8

If you have some time I would appreciate any answers to understand
something more.
