non-english characters

[somus1735]

Hello,

My seedbox service uses rutorrent. I've uploaded some folders and torrent files that have non-english characters like "ó" in the folder and file names. However, the file manager in rutorrent just has a "?" instead of the "ó" in the folder names, and trying to run a Force Recheck on the torrent doesn't work. Rutorrent just doesn't seem to be seeing the folders with non-english characters.

Support says they've added "encoding_list = UTF-8" to the conf file, but it's still not working. Any ideas?

Thanks!

install the locales in your os

thanks for the reply, HWK. Can you be a little more specific? I'd be surprised if the OS were the problem - the characters seem to show up just find in FTP...

for example google: debian install locales and see what you get.

thanks again, dsouvik. They say they already have UTF8 locales installed:

"The locale in the OS is already set to allow UTF8 (en_US and en_GB UTF8)."

Do they need to install a different locale? The characters I'm using are Spanish characters (like ó and ¡). I'm not sure if those characters would be supported in the UTF8 en_US and en_GB locales. Any idea?
