For anyone having problems with non-English languages being improperly displayed by this mod, there is a very simple solution. But you need the iconv extension installed for you php - it's probably by default if you have PHP5.
Open the file vbstatus_ajax.php
find:
PHP Code:
if($vbulletin->options['vbstatus_wordwrap']){
$att->clean['statusupdate']=wordwrap($att->clean['statusupdate'], $vbulletin->options['vbstatus_wordwrap'], "\n", true);
}
And after that add just one line:
PHP Code:
$att->clean['statusupdate'] = iconv("utf-8", "iso-8859-2", $att->clean['statusupdate']);
Obviously, in place of iso-8859-2, you have to put the correct encoding that you're using on you VB site.
It works perfectly for me in case of Polish.
