I'm running this in Japan, have changed various charset lines to shift-jis. My users can paste Japanese language into messages but can't write in Japanese using Windows IME. Any idea why not? (I doubt this is a activeCollab problem.)

By Windows IME you mean? Microsoft Internet Explorer?

i had problems with german "umlaute" too. For me it worked to edit

header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

into the first line of the index.php

Hi All,
I am facing the same problem however what I need is to edit the httpd.conf file(virtual host) using Arabic words. However, when i did that
that caused the apache to block. Does anyone have an idea how can I use arabic words in the file without getting into such trouble?
Hope I will get to an answer soon,
Thanks in advance
