I do not use the "use POSIX;" and "setlocale (...);" and it works fine - 
setting LANG properly is enough for me. Tobias wrote that calling 
setlocale would only be necessarry if the setting is not picked 
correctly from the environment variables LANG and LC_*. You might want 
check whether your Apache really sets LANG correctly - maybe your 
.htaccess is ignored because of "AllowOverride None" in httpd.conf?

If I understand it correctly, the HTML encoding is the problem now. This 
can be easily fixed with "charset = UTF-8" in 
/usr/local/smokeping/etc/config, right after "template = ...". That was 
the easy part for me - I found it in the documentation.

I would say advance to the next-to-last square instead! ;-)
