I installed WAMP today to start work on a new project, then I installed PhpMyAdmin. It seems that the VARCHAR's are set via default to the language "latin1_swedish_ci". Is this fine (the Swedish language uses the same alphabet as I understand) or will I run into trouble in the future?
I'm 99% sure it's fine, but I just want to get a second opinion before I start some heavy work..
Does the language of a VARCHAR matter?
