I want to make the names of my modules in 2 languages. English and Cyrillic UTF-8 character sets.

I also plan to edit all the modules I am using so that both languages appear everywhere.

However, when I made the change in the module names, form the module list, the Cyrillic characters end up just a random mess of special characters.

The install was done as UTF-8

Any suggestions?

You XOOPS and the Database have to be both installed as UTF-8. If you're using data from previous installations of XOOPS, you have to make sure that they are also all in UTF-8. What sometimes happens is that a table or a particular record is still in something non-UTF, and then you'll get funny characters.

So it's important that you have all:

- XOOPS
- database
- tables
- individual records

as UTF-8

You might also check if your host is supporting the character set that you've selected.

If all of the above are correct, then you should not have any problems (Если все вышеперечисленное правильно, то вы не должны иметь никаких проблем.)

It's a fresh install on my computer using Wamp. The install was done as UTF-8 and my Win7 OS is installed in Russian with an english language pack
