After upgrading to a current TYPO3 version, it may happen that the umlauts in your texts or in images created via GIFBUILDER are no longer displayed correctly. Here you can try the following:
- search for the parameter "systemLocale" in the install tool and enter "de_DE.utf8" here.
- Up to TYPO3 4.6: search for the parameter "forceCharset" in the install tool and enter "utf-8" here.
- From TYPO3 4.7: enter config.renderCharset = utf-8 in the Typoscript setup.
- In the install tool, enter "SET NAMES utf8;" under "setDBinit" (is already entered as standard from TYPO3 4.7).
- Now empty the complete cache.
- The umlauts should now be displayed correctly.
If you use GIFBUILDER to insert text into images, try the following:
- Enter the value "mbstring" for the parameter "t3lib_cs_convMethod" in the install tool.
- Also enter "mbstring" for the "t3lib_cs_utils" parameter in the install tool.
If you use Templavoila, you must ensure that your HTML editor saves the file UTF-8 encoded. In most editors, you can adjust this in the settings.
If display problems still occur, it may be necessary to convert the database. If you need help with this, simply contact our support team.
