Please be specific. Are you talking about character encodings?

German can be encoded in UTF8, ISO8859-1, ISO8859-15 and probably some
others.

I still don't understand what you mean with "recreated in German" or
"recreated in Russian".

Can you please send me one dir file "Recreated in Russian", plus
then unset all specific variable (LANGUAGE LC_*) and recreate and
send that, too. 

Both put into a .tar.gz or similar, not directly attached please so that
the encoding is not lost.

Thanks.

Best wishes

Norbert
