Yes, the backend function is just a dummy.

This has been fixed in the current beta version (3.4 series).  We didn't backport the change, since CWB 3.0 doesn't properly support charsets other then latin1 anyway.

You should consider upgrading to CWB 3.4; you'll probably have to compile it from the SVN repository in order to get a working CQI_CORPUS_CHARSET, since the patch was only added this February.

Best,
