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

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

into the first line of the index.php

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.)

Just change the place of <title> tag after <meta> tags on these files below, which output html.

-------------
/activecollab/application/layouts/account.php
/activecollab/application/layouts/administration.php
/activecollab/application/layouts/dashboard.php
/activecollab/application/layouts/dialog.php
/activecollab/application/layouts/error.php
/activecollab/application/layouts/project_website.php

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<?php echo stylesheet_tag('project_website.css') ?>
<?php echo meta_tag('content-type', 'text/html; charset=utf-8', true) ?>
<?php echo add_javascript_to_page('yui/yahoo/yahoo-min.js') ?>
<?php echo add_javascript_to_page('yui/dom/dom-min.js') ?>
<?php echo add_javascript_to_page('yui/event/event-min.js') ?>
<?php echo add_javascript_to_page('yui/animation/animation-min.js') ?>
<?php echo add_javascript_to_page('app.js') ?>
<?php echo use_widget('UserBoxMenu') ?>
<?php echo render_page_head() ?>
<title><?php echo get_page_title() ?> @ <?php echo clean(owner_company()->getName()) ?></title>
</head>


Some browsers, especially Internet Explorer, cannot render character set correctly until they read "charset" in meta tag. When special characters or multibyte characters are in <title> tag before "charset" in <meta> tag, this causes problems sometimes like showing blank page and etc. So just change the place of <title> tag after <meta> tags.

This solution may sound ridiculous but works.

hehe, of course you are right, as AddDefaultCharset may also appear in .htaccess context

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset

(as long as the virtualhost is defined to allow .htaccess for the directory through AllowOverride command)
