hi there,
I am in China and I wanna upload Chinese Word files to Alfresco Explorer. But When I clicked on the "Add Content" and selected a file, it would ask me to input "General Properties“. The "Name:" field cannot be Chinese or it would give a error, but this is not the most critical problem. When I modified the "Name:" field to English and click "Next", it would told me

Please correct the errors below then click OK.

I think this means the Author field of this Excel file cannot be Chinese. But I cannot modify it in the web page. Because of this, I cannot add this file to Alfresco. Is this a bug? thx

BTW: In Share, I also found I cannot create a file with Chinese Title/Filename,Description. Only content can be non-English. Even this, the non-English character would not be shown correctly in document details.

easy,finally I found.
install,don't launch
edit alfresco\mysql\data\alfresco\db.opt

default-character-set=utf8
default-collation=utf8_unicode_ci

save,start service
ok

I'm not sure whether is it a bug in open source world
but obviously,here is few users really need utf8
