You could try using the Language descriptor in your QtText file ( Use 11 for English )

{language: languageNumber }

See http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tools_tips/tutorials/textdescriptors.html for details of available text descriptors.

If this doesn't work, you might also try sending a european charset header with your file from the server, eg Content-Type: text/plain; charset= iso-8859-1

See http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset.html for more details.
You can do this in any scripting language - if you use PHP it might be :

<?php
header("Content-Type: text/plain; charset= iso-8859-1");
readfile("/path/to/my/text-track/qttext.txt");
?>

If you set it on the web server though, you are likely to end up with all your .txt files served as iso-8859-1 charset whether you want it or not. Let us know if that doesn't work.

Cheers - Neil.

Hi Sorry,
  if this is a well known bug but Im trying to put English subtitles on
a quicktime movie using "Textation". All is well and good viewed on a
mac or on an English language version of windows xp but when viewed
under a chinese language version of Xp it tries unsuccessfully to
translate 90% of subtitles to Chinese. Is there anything I can do to
stop it doing this or do I have to abandon the text layer of the
quicktime video.
Thanks Craig
