Error when I add a "Poll" (from the tutorial) with the settings.py/language="fr"

Description

The Admin Interface fails to add object if the settings.py Language="fr". If I switch the language to the default "en-us" I can add a record. It seems that this is due to french character like "éàè".

Here it is an extract to traceback:

Resolution: invalid

Non-ASCII input is not supported on Django trunk. That is being remedied in the UnicodeBranch. This problem has been fixed there already.

Closing as "invalid", although it really is a valid bug -- there's no other accurate resolution.

I have the same problem.
In settings.LANGUAGE_CODE I have tested 'it-IT', 'it-it', 'it', 'it_it', 'it_IT'.
Django trunk r6094, MySQLdb 1.2.2 final, MySQL 5.0.37.
Same problem if I change the table collation to utf-8.

A solution that may help: set the default encoding to utf8_unicode_ci when you create the database, before the first syncdb.

really helped - thanks. I've just changed in database dump all charsets and collations to ut8

This ultimately seems to be a symptom of MySQL tables which were created with a charset/collation that can't handle UTF-8 or the result of translating UTF-8 into the active charset/collation. As such it's really outside the scope of Django -- getting the DB setup wrong is something we can't really help with.
