hi nixsnake

i had the same problem just with Czech special letters (as ěščřžýáíéůň ). My solution is not kosher but works and you can improve it.
here comes the answer:
in modules/ModuleBuilder/javascript/SimpleList.js file find handleSave:function. there should be line like this

out += '"'+encodeURIComponent(name)+'":"'+encodeURICompon ent(value)+'"'

javascript native function encodeURIComponent does the muck up. Replace it with your own one. Try to use my one:

function myEncode(str)
{
var out = str;
out.replace("%", "%025");
out.replace("{", "%07b");
out.replace("}", "%07d");
out.replace("\"", "%022");
out.replace(":", "%03a");
return(out);
}

there might be more characters to be replaced - this is a question for some more expirienced sugar developer who knows

hope it helps

Take easy, man

Clint wanted to ask you additional informations to let us (or himself) to help you.
It is pretty normal an user ask something and another one suggest some fix based on answer.

Hi all

Make sure the charset of the language files and sugar is UTF-8.
It is also interesting to figure out the apache charset.

Cheers

Pardon me if I seemed rude. I was trying to understand how the SugarCRM community is working.
Clint asked that question on 2008-06-24, Nicksnake answered on 2008-06-25 and nothing from a Sugar team member since then.
Was the solution proposed by Jaryn the good one?

I've reproduced this issue and found a workaround. I created bug number 24984 to track this.

From the bug report above:

edit the language specific file in the custom directory. For instance for French, edit custom/include/language/fr_fr.lang.php directly with any standard text editor and correct the string.
