Hello

I just installed the new 2.1 version and the FRENCH language pack also.

I Had problems with characters in the softwares AND in the mails.

I saved the french.txt as a UTF8 coded text and now all is OK BUT still have a problem with email showing wrong characters (é è ç etc... are replaced by @ or strange things)

How to solve the email problem ?

It must be an encoding issue. I didn't create the French translation (it's been contributed by others) so I can't really say what's wrong.

You could try translating the English e-mails (the ones inside "language/en/emails") yourself and save them as UTF-8 to see if that helps.

Also make sure your french text.php file has
$hesklang['ENCODING']='utf-8';
and not
$hesklang['ENCODING']='iso-8859-1';
as it is in the original translation.
