 * I have the same problem <[http://sheffnersweb.net/?p=169&gt](http://sheffnersweb.net/?p=169&gt);
 * Using cPanel’s File Manager I went to
    / public_html / wp-includes /
 * and edited the file
    wp-db.php
 * by adding
    mysql_query(“SET NAMES ‘utf8′”);
 * after the line
    $this->dbh = @mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword);
 * It now looks like this:
 * $this->dbh = @mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword);
    mysql_query(“SET
   NAMES ‘utf8′”); if (!$this->dbh) { $this->bail(“ <h1>Error establishing a database
   connection</h1>
 * Is this right?
    Trouble is, it doesn’t fix my problem. Can someone help me?

 * Thanks, thomasw98. I was having same trouble with Japanese script not showing
   up properly. However, trying thomasw98’s suggestions did not solve the problem
   for me.
 * The config.php file says
 * “// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen
   language must be installed to wp-content/languages. // For example, install de.
   mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ // to enable German language
   support. define (‘WPLANG’, ”); “
 * I don’t have a folder <languages> in <wp-content>. Should I have?
    Also, I’m 
   using cPanel’s File Manager. How do I install an “mo” file? Where do I get it
   from? Do I need the Japanese MO file? Where do I get it from?
