I don't have an ldap server available, so I can't test this. But if this is
really your setting and your ldap server really stores the data utf8
encoded, try to set 'charset' to 'UTF-8' (with the hyphen).

Try Turba now. If it works I'll fix the other apps too.
What I do is to export the data in the charset that the storage backend has.
It used to be exported in the charset of the ui. I think this solution makes
more sense.

Hm, know that I think about it, it makes perhaps even more sense to export
it in the orginal charset of the translation. 
Opinions?

This is really a difficult problem. How do we know what charset the data has
that is going to be imported? The cleanest solution would be to let the user
decide. 
This might get difficult because most users probably don't know about charsets. 
Another problem is, what charsets do we offer? The ones from nls.php?
Another list generated from an external source?

What backend do you use for Gollem?
