Hi

I made german translation of xoops core.
All files are translated, also modules/system/language/german/modinfo.php (utf-8 without BOM)
... 
// Names of blocks for this module (Not all module has blocks) 
define("_MI_SYSTEM_BNAME2",   "Mitgliedsmenü"); 
define("_MI_SYSTEM_BNAME3",   "Einloggen"); 
define("_MI_SYSTEM_BNAME4",   "Suche"); 
define("_MI_SYSTEM_BNAME5",   "Wartende Übermittlungen"); 
define("_MI_SYSTEM_BNAME6",   "Hauptmenü"); 
...

Now I installed new fresh Xoops 2.5.8 and now I see e.g.
Mitgliedsmenü
or
Hauptmenü


ü instead of ü

website is
<html lang="de">


anyone an idea?

Link to the Website? There might be something in the headers that is confusing the browser. Did you try a different browser? I would just go step by step: a) is the proper string delivered from the page to PHP ? b) Is PHP sending the correct value to the page? c) is the browser receiving the correct value from the page, consistent with the given language value? Recently we had the issue with changelog text in the modules's About tab - I was sending it as UTF-8, but it was showing the funny characters. When you went through a similar process as above, I discovered that the ModuleAdmin was assuming that it is ANSI and was converting it:
$ret .= utf8_encode(implode('
', file($file))) . "n";
Since our current standard is UTF-8 for all pages, in the next version of XOOPS the "utf8_encode" is removed...

local site for testing; html header is fine


already in table 'newblocks' I find
Mitgliedsmenü

so the error happens when creating/filling the base tables during installing xoops

if I change name and title into
Mitgliedsmenü
in table new_blocks everthing is show proper

I tried the same with fresh xoops 2.5.7.1: there it works

OK, everything works perfectly here on my local WAMP installation.

I've done it with the latest version of XOOPS from GitHub, and tested with both PHP 7 and PHP 5.4.

Check the German strings in the database - maybe you have a wrong collation and they were stored in a wrong format?

It seems like there are some issues with your "utf8mb4_general_ci".

See these articles:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20411440/incorrect-string-value-xf0-x9f-x8e-xb6-xf0-x9f-mysql

https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/mysql-utf8mb4#character-sets

In the below article, he shows a picture where there are differences between individual columns

Maybe something similar is in your case, since XOOPS normally installs with "utf8_general_ci"

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28540772/using-utf8mb4-in-mysql?rq=1

Why are you using "utf8mb4_general_ci" at all? I always use just the " utf8_general_ci"

Yeah - it's always the same - wrong configuration, operator error, and then blame it on XOOPS! LOL
