Or. I found it. Forgot about my old post here:
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=19587.0

There is no line:

Code Select Expand

'Cyrillic' => 'windows-1251',
in file: admin.php

Code Select Expand

    $charsets = array('Default (not recommended)' => 'language file',
        'Arabic' => 'iso-8859-6',
        'Baltic' => 'iso-8859-4',
        'Central European' => 'iso-8859-2',
        'Chinese Simplified' => 'euc-cn',
        'Chinese Traditional' => 'big5',
        'Cyrillic' => 'koi8-r',
        'Greek' => 'iso-8859-7',
        'Hebrew' => 'iso-8859-8-i',
        'Icelandic' => 'x-mac-icelandic',
        'Japanese' => 'euc-jp',
        'Korean' => 'euc-kr',
        'Maltese' => 'iso-8859-3',
        'Thai' => 'windows-874 ',
        'Turkish' => 'iso-8859-9',
        'Unicode (recommended)' => 'utf-8',
        'Vietnamese' => 'windows-1258',
        'Western' => 'iso-8859-1'
        );


In charsetmgr.php there is code for this one (windows-1251):

Code Select Expand

    $charsets = array(//'Default' => 'language file',
                      'Arabic' => 'iso-8859-6',
                      'Baltic' => 'iso-8859-4',
                      'Central European' => 'iso-8859-2',
                      'Chinese Simplified' => 'euc-cn',
                      'Chinese Traditional' => 'big5',
                      'Cyrillic (windows-1251)' => 'windows-1251',
                      'Cyrillic (koi8-r)' => 'koi8-r',
                      'Greek' => 'iso-8859-7',
                      'Hebrew' => 'iso-8859-8-i',
                      'Icelandic' => 'x-mac-icelandic',
                      'Japanese' => 'euc-jp',
                      'Korean' => 'euc-kr',
                      'Maltese' => 'iso-8859-3',
                      'Thai' => 'windows-874',
                      'Turkish' => 'iso-8859-9',
                      'Unicode' => 'utf-8',
                      'Vietnamese' => 'windows-1258',
                      'Western' => 'iso-8859-1'
                      );

But you can't add like this in admin.php

Code Select Expand

        'Cyrillic' => 'windows-1251',
        'Cyrillic' => 'koi8-r',

As it will not work and these two lines have the same name between '' tags ('Cyrillic').

So you have to add like this one:

Code Select Expand

        'Cyrillic windows' => 'windows-1251',
        'Cyrillic koi8' => 'koi8-r',

So the final "good" code will look like:

Code Select Expand

    $charsets = array('Default (not recommended)' => 'language file',
        'Arabic' => 'iso-8859-6',
        'Baltic' => 'iso-8859-4',
        'Central European' => 'iso-8859-2',
        'Chinese Simplified' => 'euc-cn',
        'Chinese Traditional' => 'big5',
        'Cyrillic windows' => 'windows-1251',
        'Cyrillic koi8' => 'koi8-r',
        'Greek' => 'iso-8859-7',
        'Hebrew' => 'iso-8859-8-i',
        'Icelandic' => 'x-mac-icelandic',
        'Japanese' => 'euc-jp',
        'Korean' => 'euc-kr',
        'Maltese' => 'iso-8859-3',
        'Thai' => 'windows-874 ',
        'Turkish' => 'iso-8859-9',
        'Unicode (recommended)' => 'utf-8',
        'Vietnamese' => 'windows-1258',
        'Western' => 'iso-8859-1'
        );

Here a fixed screenshot:

[Joachim Müller]

why not use unicode?

[Makc666]

why not use unicode?

Because here in Russian we like to use Cyrillic windows-1251.
I posted not enough information about this BUG, so it can be fixed?

[Joachim Müller]

not a bug. The dev team has decided that we'll use unicode exclusively. The other encodings will vanish soon. This is not a matter of personal preferences or taste imo.

I have the same problem & found the solution (very boring). I saved on my computer lang.php in windows1251, then rewrite translation & upload the file to the server. It works perfect. But now I' m still using unicode - 2 much 2 translate. But I'll do it anyway -because of few but awfull mistakes in Russian  - like До свидание (goodbye) is absolutely wrong...

[Joachim Müller]

your reply is not relevant, you're free to convert the utf-8 file to something else. Phrases that are translated wrongly (in your opinion) are not related to this at all. Repyling to a thread on the bugs board that is marked as "invalid" is not a clever move. Locking thread now (it's sad that we're forced to do this - I wish people respected board rules).
