Problems character encoding for pages in multiple languages

Whew – Ok I figured it out. First off thanks Pippin and Peter.

The problem is that it apparently confuses some wp plugins if a specific collate hasn’t been declared in wp-config:

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8_general_ci’);

both utf8_general_ci & utf8_unicode_ci

work correctly. Umlauts and acutes all now show correctly!
