Hi Andreas, thanks for your reply. But it does not work with my Zope 2.4.3 (win98) I start Zope like so: "J:\Zope\ZopeSite\bin\python.exe" "J:\Zope\ZopeSite\z2.py" -D -L "german" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 and refer to structurd text like: <dtml-var stxTest fmt=structured-text> where stxTest is a dtml-method containing umlaute. But ä, ü, ö and other non ascii-characters are still not rendered properly. Then I replaced the structured Text Folder with the Structured Text Folder from the CVS today and still no rendering of ä, ü, ö. Am I missing something? Changing the -L "german" to -L "de_DE" gives a not 'supported error on your system' on starting Zope so -L "german" seems to be the right activation of the locale.

Does that mean it is supported in zope 2.5b now. What do I have to do to get it work in zope 2.4.3 if not. Can I deactivate STXNG in 2.4.3? At the moment it is not working in my 2.4.3 on win98.
