Hi, and thanks to Tomas Kuliavas for the fast and reliable answer: I had installed the system with german locale "de_DE.UTF-8", but SM needs de_DE ISO-8859-1, as Tomas wrote. Since I already had german system messages, I thought I was using the right locale, :-). I've installed de_DE ISO-8859-1 additionally with dpkg-reconfigure, restart the webserver, and SM shows german messages. Thanks again, and have a nice hackin', Harald ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev ----- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/postingguidelines List address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List info (subscribe/unsubscribe/change options): https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
