Try an ñ to confirm. I may have fixed this by changing the character encoding to UTF-8 in the English translation file, but I did a bunch of other things at once so not sure.

UTF-8 in the English translations file and the database (MySQL and MariaDB 5 and 10) did resolve the issue for me.

Where did you make the change in the database?

Just log into the database with PHPMyAdmin that is used by WebCalendar. Then change all table fields to UTF-8 ("Alter Table" - command). Best is to dump the contents of the database first and to freeze it until the change is done. The means preventing people using the WebCalendar to make changes while you are modifying the database.

The translation files are stored on the server in the directory translations just below the root directory of WebCalendar.
