I don't understand this problem. You shouldn't have to go through all that work just to render a template with Spanish characters. Are the Spanish Characters hard-coded into the template or coming from a database? I'm really curious why would be getting this exception and Django couldn't handle it alone.

This was a render_to_response with Spanish chars in the template. Nothing coming out of the database.

In this case I have a template with Spanish characters. Nothing was coming out of the database with Spanish chars.

I'm also not sure what problem did you have.
For me seems that your editor (that you created template with) uses iso-8859-1 instead of utf-8.
Or maybe you had just a problem how to determine encoding and how to convert it to utf-8?

It was one of those cases where I outsourced the development for a static page. My static pages all inherit from my base.html, which does do some db queries. The page was emailed to me, I saved it, and boom...it didn't work. I searched around for the answer and found that many people had this problem, but all I found was about using __unicode__ instead of __str__ for db stuff. This was not the problem I had. The solution to my issues was solved by what I described above.
