Charset problem when using apache with a default charset not set to UTF-8

I can report the same problem using Norwegian Bokmål. Since the menu items get almost unreadable, I have bumped the priority to major. I have attached the trivial patch too. (You could consider using drupal_add_http_header in stead of calling header directly, but I'm not sure you gain anything in this case.)

I have the same problem. Apply patch #1 is solve the problem for me.
Thanks!

Thx for the feedback. Setting status to tested.

PS! I wonder why this trivial patch hasn't been commited? It fixes a real issue and has no side-effects. Are we waiting for a fixing in core making the change unnecessary? (I checked the 7.x dev release - sorry, if this has been commited in git.)

#1: issue-1092970-1.patch queued for re-testing.

Just insert this line to admin_menu.module at line 304, just below the other header settings:

drupal_add_http_header('Content-Type', 'text/csv; utf-8');

This solved the problem for me.

Thanks it worked fine for me.

I have a default_charset = iso-8859-1 and need this patch to make admin_menu useable for me.

#1245014: Umlauts in the administration menu are not displayed correctly was marked as duplicate of this issue.

Would be great if this can finally be fixed. It's still not working since month.

Regarding the comment above. Why "text/csv" and not "text/html"? Can somebody explain? Aren't we handling HTML content here?

Thanks for reporting, reviewing, and testing! Committed to all branches.

A new development snapshot will be available within the next 12 hours. This improvement will be available in the next official release.
