 * when I try to upload file, I enter a description. My language is Turkish. I use
   UTF-8 encoding. But when I try to upload, in the description field the characters
   like “ÅŸ, ç” look like “&BlaBla;”
 * thanks.

 * That’s something with your computer or your database. Look at this [test post](http://www.transycan.net/blogtest/2005/04/03/image-alt-test/)
   I have made to check out the description/alt tag for the images.

 * No there is no problem with the alt tag. the problem is with automatic generated
   code. It contains silly characters and I have to change it manually every time.
