Ok, I think I see the problem. vdradmin uses an unusual way to determine,
if utf-8 should be used. The charset is read from the gettext translation,
and as there is no Swedish translation (feel free to provide one!), the
html-encoding used is always iso8859-1

You're right. The SVDRP commands sent back to VDR have not been recoded.

I've provided a fixed version which you can download here:

I did a quick test with sv_SE.UTF-8 and already forwarded the patches
upstream, but it would be nice, if you could test this too and let me
know, if it fixes your problems.

bye,

Tobias
