Unfortunately, problems with languages and encodings other than English and latin-1 aren't solved in this beta. There're even no signs that someone started to solve this issue.
I'm not sure what the issues are, but to my knowledge, doing internationalization work was never on the table for this release.
But what's the point in having Internet server which only understand English language and can serve only documents in English? I'm sure that there're many users of Zope using languages other than English, but evidently very few developers.
If there are specific patches or collector issues you can point me at, perhaps I can help (or at least tell you I can't ;-)
There's a patch for Zope 2.7 that adds support for encodings other than latin-1, but it was sent to the zopyrus mailing list so there's no an URL to point you at. I'll check if there're relevant collector issues.

Well, I personally have no need for this feature (just as you probably have no need for some of the work I do within the core), and I don't have really the time or desire to learn about the myriad internationalization issues when all I do every day is send content in English. For that reason, I'm not likely to be a great candidate to do whatever it is that needs to be done, but that doesn't mean *you* can't do it. The folks who signed up to do work on the 2.7 branch had different itches to scratch. Nothing prevents you from participating as well to scratch that one. - C --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
