[Newbies] [[ru:Планктон]] = [[ru:????????]] in workspace.

Tobias, thank you. I will verify that Monday 

Is bringing Cyrillic character support to squeak workspace a big job? If it's just tore grunt work, I can contribute

You most probably have to tell you string to be converted to utf8, because that is typically what
is being served via Seaside and rendered by browsers.

IIRC, you can do that by setting the UTF8 Codec for the Seaside Adatpor or simply by converting the
string:

    '[[ru:Планктон]]' squeakToUtf8

Best regards
