When I tried to include some French text in the Latest Release description I got what it looked as Chinese/Japaneese characters on the web. See enclosed file.
The same problem here for chinese, any Chinese characters can't display correctly. I wonder if there some patch can correct it or I have to wait for the next release.
Our understanding is that for this to work properly, our runtime page needs to set a tag for IE to tell IE what language is being displayed. However with the current release, we don't know what language is being displayed. To do that, we will need to capture the language on the Publisher website and pass that into the runtime page. This is why it displays correctly when the user forces IE to display the correct language.
This isn't something that can be added quickly in a patch. We will be implementing full language support in the next release of the Update Service.
