Description:
I've upgraded my mediawiki from 1.13.5 to 1.15.2 and in the first moment all seems ok. But than I found a strange thing. All pagetitles with special characters (german umlaute: ä, ö, ü, ß) are missmatched. But in the text of the article this problem is not existing - only the pagetitles.

After some tests and control between the original database and the test-database (where I made the upgrade) I found some interesting things. Both databases have the same missmatch in the pagetitles, but the translator works in the old version correct and translate it.
In the new version I found after the upgrade older files with different code.

It seems to be a problem in the translater script of the newer version 1.15.2.

Some informations about the server:
Ubunut 9
PHP 5.2.4
MySQL 5.0.51a
Apache 2
It's a virtual webserver and both installations are on the same machine.

Has someone a idea where I could search?
Maybe the problem is something else, but I only found a difference in the files in the language folder and I can't understand why there are older versions in the upgrade file.

Version: 1.15.x
Severity: enhancement
OS: Linux
Platform: Other
