I don't think HTML entities will work. At least I remember seeing some comment about about aC escaping them, so you might end up seeing ä, and the like in some places.

A nice tool to convert text files to UTF (and a great editor btw.) is jEdit. http://jedit.org/ Just open the file in it, then go to the 'buffer options' and select UTF-8 as the character encoding. Now you can enter all special characters of your language. When you save the file, it should be stored UTF-8 encoded.

You might also want to set UTF-8 as the default character encoding in jEdit's global options, so you don't have to change it in the buffer options all the time and it is correctly set when you open an already UTF-8 encoded file.

I think its enought to convert all non-ASCII character into Unicode values. i think http://de.selfhtml.org/html/referenz/zeichen.htm should do it for German.

New translations page has been added. Currently you need to send me a package with translated files and I'll add it to the list. Its far from perfect, but its better than nothing. It will serve us until we add translations repository to the website.

Also, important thing to note - en_us files are not UTF and you should convert them to UTF when creating translation for your language.
