Error page in non-English languages

Hi,
I'm using CloudHost on a multilingual site (Joomla 3.2) and I have issues with text replacement. Site is both in Japanese and French, so I overrided languages constants in these languages. Problem is that the 404 page displays strange characters. Example in French : http://s215847957.onlinehome.fr/clair/index.php/fr/collectivites-locales-au-. Accentuated characters are replaced. Example in Japanese : http://s215847957.onlinehome.fr/clair/index.php/ja/about-. Everything is 文字化け as you say in Japanese.
Looking at the code shows

Code: Select all: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-gb" lang="en-gb" dir="ltr">

which means that

Code: Select all: xml:lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" dir="<?php echo $this->direction; ?>"

isn't collected correctly. Strange thing is that the logo image is correct in each language. Do you have any idea of what happens and how I can retrieve the right languages on this page ?

Hello,

First of all please make a small test - please rename the error.php file in the template to i.e. "___error.php" and then please check your error page - you should see the original one from Joomla system template. If it will have the same result as our one, then it means that it is a bug inside Joomla! not in our template and you will have to report it to Joomla bug tracker. In other case we will investigate this case for fixing the described problem.

Checked. No problem with original Joomla error. You can have a look at the same link than below. Let me know if you want me to reactivate error.php.

Hi all:

I have the same problem with the error page, my website is NOT multilingual, but the characters as the Spanish "ñ" or "á, é" are replaced by "Ã ±" for example.

Thank you all.

Did you change the text in error page? I'm asking because this may be file encoding issue. Could you give me sample URL to error page?

Same problem here with News template fresh install, error page. The "Return to Home Page" part shows like ΞΟΟΞΉΞΊΞ� Ξ£Ξ΅Ξ»Ξ―Ξ΄Ξ±

Code: Select all: <div id="errorboxbody"> <a href="http://mysite.com/" title="ΞΞ΅ΟΞ¬Ξ²Ξ±ΟΞ· ΟΟΞ·Ξ½ ΞΟΟΞΉΞΊΞ� Ξ£Ξ΅Ξ»Ξ―Ξ΄Ξ±">ΞΟΟΞΉΞΊΞ� Ξ£Ξ΅Ξ»Ξ―Ξ΄Ξ±</a>

and

Code: Select all: </script>ΞΟΟΞ� Ξ· Ξ΄ΞΉΞ΅ΟΞΈΟΞ½ΟΞ· Ξ·Ξ»Ξ΅ΞΊΟΟΞΏΞ½ΞΉΞΊΞΏΟ ΟΞ±ΟΟΞ΄ΟΞΏΞΌΞ΅Ξ―ΞΏΟ ΟΟΞΏΟΟΞ±ΟΞ΅ΟΞ΅ΟΞ±ΞΉ Ξ±ΟΟ ΟΞΏΟΟ Ξ±ΟΟΞΏΞΌΞ±ΟΞΉΟΞΌΞΏΟΟ Ξ±ΟΞΏΟΟΞΏΞ»ΞΟΞ½ Ξ±Ξ½Ξ΅ΟΞΉΞΈΟΞΌΞ·ΟΟΞ½ ΞΌΞ·Ξ½ΟΞΌΞ¬ΟΟΞ½.

I fixed it, here is my solution:
Edit error.php file located on your template folder and after <head> put this line

Code: Select all: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
