Yes, it's doing the same thing to my Vietnamese words, for example  
the translation for Debian Women: it munges the non-ASCII characters. :(

At least it's a start: thanks, Thierry.

btw, I've inserted a sentence at the top of our homepage, it  
translates as:

"This wiki is based on PmWiki -- a member of Debian Women has just  
modified it to display UTF-8 text correctly, including Vietnamese."

Take a bow, Thierry. ;)

A question or two:

How do I edit the crumb trail, so my language group can understand  
what it means?

The word "Vietnamese" is displayed correctly across the top in the  
language list, but not yet in the right-hand sidebar, nor in the name  
of the page (e.g. Vietnamese Homepage). Can I edit that?

More questions as I stub my toes on more things... ;)
