it means that some application has inserted the character 159 somewhere. This is in the range of characters that are illegal in HTML, and the XSLT transformation producing the page will choke on it.

It can be tricky to find; if it happens only in German and Russian, I’d start looking at the localized tables (RegionsDes, etc.) and the localized files for those languages.

Some time ago I entered a bug to make the handling of this more robust, see http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/ticket/146.

Kind regards

What did you actually do to find it ?

Try something like this:

select * from <TABLE_NAME> where position(CHR(159) in <COLUMN_NAME>) > 0

Run it on all localized tables (the ones with names ending in “Des”). Take a look at each table to see what to enter for COLUMN_NAME.

Kind regards

Hello,
thank you again for your help.
I have not understood your first post immediately.
Your tip has helped us.
We now know that it is up to the oracle db.
