Update: Improved multilingual support in the subject line
Posted by David Greiner on November 17, 2006
In a continued push to support as many languages as possible, we've just pushed a small update live that improves our support for foreign characters in your campaign subject line. This update ensures all Asian character sets like Chinese, Japanese and Korean are fully supported. As usual, we're using UTF-8 encoding for both the subject and campaign content.
As you can imagine, it can be difficult to test all the different language variations out there, so if you ever spot a discrepancy, please let us know and we'll continue making tweaks and improvements to make sure everyone's covered.

Are there any tags I need to include in, say, a Spanish language newsletter compared to English?
Thanks!

Hey Paul. Nope, as long as the email is encoded in UTF-8 you shouldn't have any problems at all. If you spot any issues though, don't hesitate to drop the support team a line.
