Here is a hacked version, I have tested it for Chinese and Japanese tags and it works.Basically, it just excludes mutibyte chars(x80-xff) from the stopdata.
function sanitize_with_dashes( $text ) {
$text = strip_tags($text);
$text = remove_accents($text);
$text = strtolower($text);
$text = preg_replace(‘/&(^x80-xff)+?;/’, ”, $text); // kill entities
$text = preg_replace(‘/[^a-z0-9×80-xff _-]/’, ”, $text);
$text = preg_replace(‘/s+/’, ‘-‘, $text);
$text = preg_replace(array(‘|-+|’, ‘|_+|’), array(‘-‘, ‘_’), $text); // Kill the repeats
return $text;
}
This hacked version works very well in Japanese!
firetheweb, that works for cyrillic, i can Add tags BUT i cannot search topics by that tags 
Any suggestions???
This hacked version not works for cyrillic.
I’ve make a plugin for automatic transliteration of tags.
The plugin is available for view here and for download here
Этот плагин действительно не работает для кириллицы. Вместо него я сделал плагин для автоматической транслитерации тэгов.
Плагин можно посмотреть здесь и загрузить здесь

This issue, which we can add Mutibyte Character Tags but ca not search by Mutibyte Character Tags is not solved in version 0.8. Does anybody have any patch/hack for this? many thanks.
travelsuperlink (and others seeing this problem),
If you could help us debug the problem, that’d be very helpful.

mdawaffe,
sorry I just saw this post. I try it in this forum here, and it works perfect. However I knew it is not working in my personal forum. I will try it as in your tickets 585 and report to you the debugging code.
thanks, and happy chinese new year to everyone.

i tried the hack above but now the tag can be clicked but no topics show so i cant enter a topic to get the destroy the tag option. Is there any other way to destroy the tag?
I think you could destroy the tag with phpMyAdmin or some other way, directly in the database, right?

I don’t recommend that at all, because I assume that there’s a topic/tag-matching table somewhere and if that can’t find the tag in the other table things will get extremely screwy.
It is very rarely a good idea to directly modify the database.
it’s ok, i killed it by deleting the post it was associated with and using the recount feature in the admin
funkyloveb, so sorry for your inconvenience.
I reply to your forum to testing the Multibyte character Tag.
Do you have any way to show UTF8 tag properly?
I try this post & fix 0.8.1 still not solve the problmes.
thats ok.
I haven’t found a way to make them work yet, hopefully there will be a solution soon
