Hi, i use:
Vicibox_v.6.0.x86_64-6.0.4
Vicidial
VERSION: 2.12-505a
BUILD: 150806-1348
After installing/setting up VICIdial, I've faced with an issue that it does not support cyriliic encoding
When I load the input file (leads) whith cyrillic symbols - I see either the 'аЂаИаМаИбаЕаВаА ааА' or the 'ааОаЛаДаАаВбаКаАб аЃаЛ' symbols.
My browser puts the wrong encoding ISO 8859-5, the real encoding is UTF-8.
If I manually change the encoding in the browser, the data is displayed correctly.

You will probably have to manually change MySQL to use UTF-8 encoding for data. I'm not sure if you will have to make Apache or PHP changes, but the web coding should work for all UTF-8 encoded languages, we have clients using Japanese and Traditional Chinese and those work within the existing code framework, so Cyrillic should too.

Base 'asterisk' is utf-8 in my installation
The problem is not at the database, but the problem is how the page to load lead lists is shown.
What to do next?

Have you tried the Non-Agent API to load leads, or the CLI script VICIDIAL_IN_new_leads_file.pl to load leads?

Load leads over CLI script is very very difficult for VICIdial users,
And while I have not tried it myself

Thank you so much, but this scenario to use API is not for me...
Problem only in frontend on admin_listloader_fourth_gen.php page (frontend is automatically shown in ISO 8859-5 encoding) and admin_listloader_third_gen.php (windows-1251). But the UTF-8 encoding is correct and required. The rest system is displayed properly in correct UTF-8.

could this be related to

Are cyrillic characters rendered properly in the admin page labels? If the problem only occurs in input fields it may well be the same issue. You may want to add a record of your own to the bug report.

you can easily create an account for free, all you need is a valid email address. It would likely help mflorell to have more examples and I would certainly appreciate any help in solving this. All my french clients (well, that`s all of them really XD ) were really excited to get language support so this issue was a bit of a bummer for everyone.

Have you tried loading the leads using text files(.txt files that are tab or pipe delimited)?

Dear bobchaos,
I am unable to register because the registration page there is no verification code. I tried different browsers and different operating systems.

I could show the screenshot of the problem. But I cannot attach the screenshot of the problem here. at that portal/forum because I have no such user privileges...
Could you please provide me an email or any another way (skype probably) to send the screenshot?
