I've combed the forum for a solution to this header error and I cannot figure out what the problem is. Here is what I get, and here is what I tried:
I just installed a Spanish Language Pack. When I went back to my forums, I see this in the header of most pages:
Here is what I did:
1. I looked for any whitespace or extra line breaks in espanol.php. There was none, and particularly nothing before <?php.
2. I am not using Notepad. I'm on a Mac, and the original file was loaded into my editor as a UTF-8 (No BOM) file.
3. I deleted .inc/settings.php to see if it would correct any internal settings
4. I removed all blank lines from espanol.php, just to be sure there wasn't one byte in the file that was being seen as a byte of output.
5. I tried uploading a fresh espanol.php again.
Update: I made a little headway, but I can't solve the problem still, because solving the first part creates another problem. Ok, so I noticed when I changed the encoding of espanol.php to "Western", the forum works fine, but the language selection box in the footer shows a very weird character in place of the "tilde N" (which is a non-Western character)
So why doesn't the forum work if the espanol.php file is in UTF-8 mode? What is causing the headers to pick up data output from such an encoded file?
On the other hand, is it possible to use UTF-8 encoded files at all? Do I have to resort to using a Western encoded file, and simply remove any offending characters in place of a Western equivalent?
Here is a copy of espanol.php. Notice the "ñ" character. In my browser, it shows up as a diamond with a question mark in it--clearly an unrecognized char for the encoding format of the MyBB page.
Here is what happens when the UTF-8 file is saved as Western, just to prevent MyBB from throwing header output errors:
[attachment=20694]
This obviously becomes an issue if I want to use Chinese or Hebrew, because there is simply no Western equivalent for representing Eastern char encodings.
Thank you!

Has anyone dealt with Unicode issues yet? Isn't anyone running a forum that utilizes two different character sets? How are you getting your language files to show the proper character encodings without causing header errors? Is this possibly a bug for MyBB in not handling Unicode properly?
It doesn't make sense that if my language file is encoded in UTF-8, and the page encoding on the browser is UTF-8, a header output error occurs. Yet as soon as I change the file encoding to "Western", all works fine, no header output exceptions are thrown, but in return I have to settle with a language selection prompt showing non-sensical single-bit symbols in place of the desired double-bit encoded characters, like the ñ.
Somebody? Anybody?! :-)
