Apache/JavaScript/Asynchronys-XML If you have a MySQL Database in there... that might also be a component. JavaScript doesn't do anything, language-wise. The DATABASE might have portions of it... that control storage of values that are language specific - and you need to make sure that you have created your database and table(s) accordingly. Apache MIGHT be affecting your problem. Check your httpd.conf file. Look for language in the file, and make necessary changes. The only other component not listed above is YOUR BROWSER. Check to insure that it supports the language you are trying to use. There is a discussion regarding CHINESE and JavaScript here: http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=9591 The problem is similar in that both languages are multi-byte languages and present unique issues associated with presentation of such.
