Hello,

I am trying to get Plone drop down Menu working for a site in german.

But if I have Folders with german umlauts like ä,ö in the title and if I then

install the product I get the following error message ( from the logs) :

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 89: ordinal not in range(128)

If I only use titles without umlauts everything works fine

Any ideas ?

Overac

I forgot to say I am using Plone-3.2.2 from the latest buildout

Hi,

The only german word in the navigation with an umlaut is "Persönliches". I took out the others to verfy that it is a problem with the umlauts.

Thanks
