Well, I don't know, but the comments used with the gallery export plug-in are 
probably the ones stored in the database. But apparently, IPTC comments 
support extended (8bit) ASCII,because my accented letters éàè etc. are 
correctly displayed in the IPTC field. 
So to sum up, let's say I have a comment with the word "montée", it is 
properly displayed in Digikam, in the EXIF and IPTC fields (checked with the 
metadata tab). If I open the gallery export plug-in and want to add this 
photo to an album, the comment is still displayed correctly, but if I then go 
to my gallery page, the new photo I uploaded shows the following 
comment : "Montée". So there is clearly a mismatched with the encoding 
(maybe between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1), but again, I don't see any option in 
gallery or digikam, to select the desired encoding. Has someone seen this 
kind of problem?
