[Blog] Tags with accented letters are broken

Like the title said.

If you use a tag with an accented letter in your blog, it doesn't work if you select it in the tags box shown in the sidebar. Very annoying since french words (and a lot of other languages i assume) often include accented letters.

I have had the same problem with my tag in Vietnamese since the last upgrade.

Known issue, though most recent discussion was about Cyrillic (Greek, Russian, etc.). The parser doesn't handle Unicode the way it should ...

If you actually edit the URL to the correct text, it seems to work (example), but the tag links produced by the forum are ... well, corrupted.

Another bug is that some tags are duplicated. In my blog, for example, pâtes tag is duplicated in this post : http://my.opera.com/jeremiedurand/blog/show.dml/10596621. I tried several times to remove the second one, but it always reappears.

In fact i discovered that in the "world" of Opera a lot of troubles are caused by using accented letters. In the passwords, in the tags... It's a real shame!

I had the same problem when trying to add a new tag to an old entry however that problem's gone when I re-typed every tag of the entry smile

Thanks a lot for this workaround smile

Well, just remains the bug with accented letters. Is there a way apart this forum to make a report?

here to report the same issue with slovenian words. i write reports about metal concerts that i wisit and some of them are tagged with names of towns and names of people preforming.. when there are "đšžčć" in these tags they get somehow converted for example "koroška -> koro1ka" and "riž -> riE"

on the other hand, "ravne na koroškem" works fine.
it would be nice if this gets fixed.

any ideas how to make opera photo album to display in google images? i made an album with pictures of town, view from particular hill, i couldn't find much of such entries with google images but i a sure lots of people are looking for it..

Not sure, but Google might like it better if you have a description attached to the images. Right now they only have the album title.
