Encoding issue

Hi,

This website is UTF-8.

Look at the bottom, where there are dates for links, you notice the strange characters instead of août?

In my template I have :
setlocale(LC_TIME, "fr_FR");

And something like :
strftime('%A %d %B %Y',$linknode->created)

So how comes I have this strange character encoding? How can I fix this?

Thanks

Try "fr_FR.utf8" or "fr_FR.UTF-8" (either should work).

Mmm I have tried both and with either one I'm back to english local, not the french one...

Edit : ok I found that was because I didn't have the utf8 locale in my gentoo system, I added it and now it works.
