[TYPO3] Danish characters in GMENU on UTF-8 encoded site

[Oleg L. Sverdlov]

Jochen,


 From my (limited) knowledge you don't have to enable them both. I am 
using mbstring on hebrew/russian/english/arabic website.

AFAICS there are two different modules with the same functionality


from docs:

Iconv.


This module contains an interface to iconv character set conversion 
facility. With this module, you can turn a string represented by a local 
character set into the one represented by another character set, which 
may be the Unicode charcter set


mbstring


mbstring provides these multibyte specific string functions that help 
you deal with multibyte encodings in PHP, which is basically supposed to 
be used with single byte encodings. In addition to that, mbstring 
handles character encoding conversion between the possible encoding pairs.


You can also set 'recode' which is an interface to GNU Recode. It is not 
available on Windows.

I checked mbstring on linux and php 4.4 and both mbstring and iconv on 
windows with php 4.4. They are working mostly OK.        


Hope this helps.

Oleg.
