Hi list,
Why does the phpMyAdmin need UTF-8 charset? MySQL does not support UTF-8 charset yet, doesn't it?

Hi translators
Since today phpMyAdmin allows using other charset in HTTP and when working with mysql. This requires translations to use some charset that won't break anything during conversion. Currently will be used utf-8 so translations should be converted to this charset, while also keeping current one to allow : I converted current cvs version to utf-8 (where it worked) and the result is available at http://cihar.liten.cz/PMA-translations/. There is also script which does this conversion (sync_lang.sh). So please have a look at your converted translation and send me your comments.
imho,
UTF-8 is for its web-interface, not data representation in MySQL.
most of favorite web browser support UTF-8.
anyway, the actual data representation of UTF-8 is just ASCII (UTF-8 use only char in range of 0x00..0x7F). and MySQL do support ASCII.
so MySQL can kept UTF-8 data, whether it understand UTF-8 or not :)
