Hello,
I've done an updated patch for UTF-8 support in VDRAdmin-AM. The "make.sh" script now can generate utf8-versions of all existing locales, just issue "make.sh utf8add", and then compile all locales with "make.sh po". Then, you can configure a utf8-locale if it's supported on your system.
Have phun, Lucian
P.S. The other patch is for the current gentoo ebuild, for those gentoo-ers who can't wait until hd_brummy provides a new one.
