Excuse me if you've tried this already, but check whether the encoding is not Western or something. UTF-8 or, in the case of many sites, user-defined encoding works just fine. Please check http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=95290 for more info.

I'm not on Windows now, and hence, unable to go through the above process.
That's not the point. Neither am I most of the time, Its just that if we need to have some more people on regional language wikipedias there should be an easy way to do that.
If somebody like me who has little idea about things to try and does stuff, has to go through hoops in order to get it right , then normal (read people who have no idea or interest in tweaking or trying out things) are simply left in the cold.
I am going to be trying now on GNU/Linux as well as I did see some inconsistencies on my system as well. The Windows system will be with me overnight so if any more experiments have to be done, can be done as well.
