Version: (using KDE 4.4.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I have files with Hebrew filenames. These names are displayed correctly in non-KDE applications but appear as gibberish in KDE applications. When creating a file with a Hebrew filename using KDE software, all Hebrew characters are replaced by question marks (?). These question marks appear both in KDE and non-KDE applications. I'm running the latest Kubuntu 10.04 Alpha.
This is related to the filesystem encoding AFAIR.
I can confirm that this is a problem for german special characters as well. If e.g. from an archive files are extracted, the special characters are replaced by a "question mark". The files are shown in dolphin, but it is not possible to work with them in anyway. I actually does not think that it is related to the file system (ext4) as it is possible to work with the files in a terminal or with "nautilus".At the moment, I am using "nautilus" to rename the files in order to use them with KDE applications. If I am trying to rename them in dolphin, nothing happens (even not an error message). This issue also breaks the Trash, if a folder is deleted that contains such a file. It is transfered then to the trash, but could not be emptied anymore. The problem exists for a while now, but I wondered, why it is not fixed. Maybe most developers are only using english? However, I do not think that this issue is only related to hebrew and german umlauts, but to all special characters.

No response; assuming it was fixed since then.
