Swedish localization flaw in date/time part of admin panel

[gonk]

I've chosen to use the Swedish localization but the time/date bar in the admin site shows incorrect characters in the day name - "Söndag" is shown as "s�ndag".

Code: Select all

<div id="sideboard-datetime-day">s�ndag</div>

This happens if I use the default character encoding setting in Chrome, UTF-8. If I switch to ISO 8859-1 the day name is correctly displayed but instead other parts suffers from problems relating to character encoding. Enabling and auto-detect makes no difference.

Recommendations:

• Please take a look at §5.2.2 Specifying the character encoding in the W3C HTML 4.01 specification.
• Stick to one character encoding in all parts of the admin site and specify it, e.g. using

  Code: Select all

  <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

• ... and/or follow the 5.3.2 Character entity references and §24 Character entity references in HTML 4

Thanks, noted and reported. Obviously we tested on a non åäö-dag (think it was tisdag). Sorry.
