Encoding in the notebook, and I18N
Gonzalo Tornaria
"broken" with the encoding which prevents using non-ascii characters.
For example, if one changes the title of a worksheet to something with
non-ascii characters, it seems to work at first, but when going back
to the list of worksheets the title will display wrongly.
I've investigated a bit, and the good news is, I think this must be
pretty easy to fix, because is't *just* an issue with encodings. In
fact, the notebook seems to be unicode-safe, except for the html
serving: it's just that firefox *thinks* the html served by the
notebook is in latin-1 encoding (iso-8859-1), but it is in fact in
utf-8 encoding. Manually changing the encoding makes the page render
ok (accents and all look good).
Thus, the fix that is required is the following:
a) add a
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
header to the HTTP response given by twisted. This is probably the
best and easier to implement --- I just couldn't find where to do it
in the notebook source, but it must be easy for someone familiar with
notebook code.
b) alternatively, add a line
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
to the <head> section of every page served by the notebook. This I
could do by changing templates and search&replace in the notebook
source, etc... I wouldn't be sure to catch all instances, and in
general I think (a) is preferrable.

There has already been some work done on this front:

thanks for your answer. I commented back in
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/5564.
Short story: the patches in #4547 and #5211 seem to fix my issues with
utf-8 encoding, but I can't figure out what issues are fixed by the
patches in #5564.

#5564 fixes a problem where one could enter "complicated" UTF-8 text
(Asian languages are most problematic) and get it to display -- but when
one double-clicked on the cell to edit, the text would get garbled.
