Item12610: Date Field on SERP wrong Encoding

The date on the SERP cannot display umlauts correctly. Umlauts inside the content are OK.

SolrPlugin -> latest Version.

This is an error in JQMomentContrib, not SolrPlugin. Your site isn't able to display utf8. JQMomentContrib - a javascript api running on the client side - is injecting utf8 while the HTML page is switched down to iso-8859-1.

Four possible ways to solve this:

1. convert your site to utf8 ... bout time / long-term the RightThingToDo™
2. disable I18N in JQMomentContrib ... you aren't able to render internationalized messages with all sorts of chars in it anyway.
3. improve JQMomentContrib to convert internal I18N messages to the charset used by the HTML page ... you might get a few ? when there's no existing codepoint in the target charset.
4. hack pub/System/JQMomentContrib/lang/de.js and convert it to your site's charset ... not a solution just a quick hack.

There are other 3rd party javascript modules that suffer from the same problem, e.g. jquery-ui's datepicker.

Patches welcome.

Btw. what is SERP?

I changed the charset of the lang-file to our charset. This workes fine and is sufficinet for our case.

Thanks again.
