Picasa uploader bus with Russian comments

Hi,

not sure if this is the best forum to pass this on, but if I leave comments in Rusian within Picasa and then upload the picture to SmugMug, the Russian comments get messed up.

I think it has to do with the encoding being broken along the transmission. FYI - i can leave comments in Russian directly on SmugMug site.

Thanks, Vic

The text is supposed to say: Че то про банки несет. Ни хера не понял.
You may have to set your page enconding to auto detect Russian if the browser doesn't automatically.
