Google uses UTF-8 encoding, and as such encodes their HTTP Referrer header using UTF-8. Unless your site also uses UTF-8, this means any special characters in the URL will not be displayed properly as a result (including the keywords, which are what we are most concerned with).

To fix the characters not displaying properly in IPB, you can use IPB's character set converter tool.

In the skin, find

$this->tagcontent = $startMeUp->tagcloudKeywords();


and add after

$this->tagcontent = $this->ipsclass->txt_convert_charsets( $startMeUp->tagcloudKeywords(100), 'utf-8', 'xxxx' );


Replacing xxxx with your site's character set.

Basically, you'd have to use a similar fix. iconv or mb_convert should work, for instance, for most character sets.

I tried to add iconv (iso8859-2, utf-8, {$keyword}) instead of {$keyword}
but this crashed site - no keyword were shown at all.

Maybe iconv isn't working so well on your server? You could try using mb_convert or recode php functions instead to see if they work for you at all. Alternatively, you could try using the character set conversion class included in IPB (it's in ips_kernel/ folder).

Open file: keywords_template.php
Find: 
function outputTagLinks( $keywords='', $keywordRecords=array() )
{


After add (for example if you want converts text from utf8 to iso8859-2):
$keywords=iconv ('utf-8', 'iso8859-2', $keywords);

Save and close.

You have to be sure you have iconv installed of course to use it.
