Hi , i am sorry but i can't speak Latvian so i couldn't search forum topics for my problem.
I have a joomla website that i am making for a Latvian friend, but i have a problem with the characters encoding. I don't know but the original Latvian lang. pack is working right. But when i submit any article or category it goes insane!

Make sure you tables in the database is in utf8 encoding, otherwise they will truncate the data.

When you installed Joomla, did you select language option "Latvian"?

that really solved the problem, i was using a jomstart for that template and it hadn't the language option in its installer. So i got to change it from the database (utf8_latvian_ci) and it worked like a charm.
Thanks again

You are very welcome.

I like the 'eco' template your friend is using. I think I will use it for an adventure website, it fits the look. 8)

I am not realy sure if selection of install language makes sense in database collation.
Anyway all fields in database that can contain latvian texts must be in utf8, otherwise there will be ? instead of ā and other caracters.
