+If you get a UnicodeEncodeError
+===============================
+
+If you're taking advantage of the internationalization features of Django 
+(see :ref:`topics-i18n`), you may come across a curious problem. 
+Namely, uploading of non-ascii filenames with the storage system 
+with the default Apache settings on most systems will trigger 
+a ``UnicodeEncodeError`` exceptions when calling functions like ``os.path()``. 
+To avoid these issues, ensure that the following lines are included in your 
+Apache ``envvars`` file (typically found in ``/etc/apache2/envvars``)::
+
+    export LANG='en_US.UTF-8'
+    export LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8'
+
+Then restart Apache.
