I translated the whole script in French and all works fine except:
- Special characters are not displayed in the meta tags and apparently not saved correctly in the database, such as "leveurs, srieux" instead of "éleveurs, sérieux" - RSS feeds encoded with <? xml version =" 1.0 "encoding =" ISO-8859-1 "?> does not appear normally, such as "Pour�les personnes�d�sirant me contacter par t�l�phone ou par internet" instead of "Pour les personnes désirant me contacter par téléphone ou par internet"
What is the solution to solve these problems, because I want everything appears normal.
Turns out the problem I was having with the default meta tags box was because I was running an english-only version, and english-only versions don't set the character set for the page, resulting in sending a latin1 character to the mysql server which chops off the record there because it isn't valid for a utf8 field. Assuming you're running a multilingual copy, your problem is most likely that you have a non-utf8 character set specified in the language file.
It's theoretically possible to convert the whole database to latin1 to match, but makes much more practical sense to use utf-8 everywhere.
I solved the problem of accents in the meta tags by putting this line as comment //$this->name = preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9 '. tweakvalue('keepchars') .']/i', '', $this->name); in file tag.php.
For the rest, everything seems to work very well.
Now I translated the script of the Forum in French.
That's not meta tags, that's listing tags. The correct way to use non-english characters in listing tags is to go to Admin Panel -> Miscellaneous -> Tweaks Editor and type all the characters you want to allow in the "keepchars" box.

That is the problem of RSS is resolved, I suggested to members to write accents in HTML entity.
Just stay the problem tags.

The feeds really need to be encoded utf-8, because the database is utf-8. The language file also needs to use utf-8.
Confirmed that accented characters are breaking the default meta tags box, this will be fixed in the next release.

Thank you Paul
Tweaks.php file exists.
It does not work with keepchars, one per line, separated by a comma or one behind the other, so I leave this line commented out because it works.
Regards.
