[TYPO3-core] REMINDER: RFC: garbage characters displayed in flexforms (#4085, #4813)

[Dmitry Dulepov]

Today one more person reported the same bug to BT, so this problem is 
really bothering people. It is simpler than many others in this list, so 
I hope to get approval...

Hi!

This is SVN patch request.

Branches: trunk & 4.0

Bug references: 4085, 4813

Problem:  Non-latin1 characters in labels of flexform fields are not
displayed properly. The problem is that they are in utf-8 but
$LANG->sL() tries convert them from local charset (normally iso-88591-1
for English) to UTF-8 thus making complete junk (see attached file).

Solution: add a new function to process FF labels properly.

There are free files attached:
- screenshot of bad & fixed label
- full patch to commit (includes ExDevEval updated function index)
- small patch that shows only changes related to this problem

Patch is made over trunk, I hope to get it into 4.1.
