We need to add this to the faq:

When a web browser is determining the charset to use to display a
document it looks first at the HTTP Response headers, and only if no
charset is indicated there does it look in the document itself,
including the <meta> tags.  So you need to check your apache config to
see what charset you have apache configured to send (if any).  Look in
particular at the AddDefaultCharset directive.  Removing that
directive will sometimes solve the problem by causing the browser to
use the <meta> tag.

Regarding language packs, it is highly unlikely that that will make
any difference.  But it is difficult to tell for sure, since you
haven't enven mentioned what operating system you are using.
