Seaside sends http header content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
(WAResponse>>initialize) so you can insert meta tags all you want and it
won't have an effect. Change the response type. I for example use
windows-1250, you'd want iso8859-2 (latin2) for german I guess

I use localized application, the only real problem is to enter localized
texts in squeak as literal strings. So I have a file with the translated
labels and use those as output. Browser will return form data in the
encoding of the page (as you have discovered) and that can be saved
straight to the database etc.
