Hmm ... how did you change those labels ?

I guess the problem is more this one:
Normally LL (LanguageLables) in the LLL.php files or the new xml ones are stored
in their native charset. Meaning german is stored in 8859-1, eastern european languages
are stored in 8859-2, japanese in shift-jis and so on .... when you now replace those
language labels with your own values those values will be utf-8 ... now T3 just interprets
them as german LL and converts them from 8859-1 to utf-8 (altough they are already utf-8)
and so you will get labels like:
vorwärts or zurück instead of vorwärts or zurück.

I think the simplest solution would be to change the value in the databse directly to
8859-1. will display strange in the TSConfig field in the BE but should work.
