Dear all,

I am looking for a way to ensure that everything is in proper UTF-8 in
the web interface Specifically, my problem is that messages from gettext
for German are inserted in ISO-8859-1 while for other languages I have
tested, including Norwegian and Russian, mailman seems to generate
proper UTF-8, even without explicitly enabling UTF-8 in mm_cfg.py.

As an example, take
https://lists.uferwerk.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/huehner

"Um frühere Nachrichten an diese Liste zu sehen, besuchen Sie bitte das
Archiv der Liste Huehner
<https://lists.uferwerk.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/huehner/>. (/Das
aktuelle Archiv ist nur f�r die Abonnenten der Liste zug�nglich./)"

When I inspect the source code of the German page, I see that part of
the umlauts are properly encoded as html entities such as &uuml;, &auml;
and others are not, they are plain ISO-8819-1 and thusly get screwed up,
when the browser interprets the page as UTF-8. They seem to be inserted
on-the-fly by the python interpreter, from
/var/lib/mailman/messages/de/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po  and I notice that
/var/lib/mailman/messages/de/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po is in ISO-8859-1,
not in UTF-8.

In mm_cfg.py I have done what the manual recommends
<https://wiki.list.org/DOC/4.90%20My%20list%27s%20moderator%20interface%20and%20plain%20format%20digests%20have%20garbled%20non-ascii.%20Change%20English%20charset%20to%20utf-8.>.
Without it, the message strings get rendered correctly, while the list
descriptions from the configuration, which are apparently in UTF-8 get
rendered as two letter strings: "*Huehner -- Liste für alle
Hühner-Eltern im Uferwerk".*

Can someone maybe tell me what I can do to reconcile this apparent mismatch?

Thanks so much in advance,

Johannes
