The problem I have, if the file is not unicode, the system won't read
it at all.

This is a common question. Here's the answer:
There are several different formats that are supported for .strings
files. The most common and most convenient one is the so-called
strings file format, consisting of lines of the form "a" = "b"; with
optional C-style comments. If you use this format, you should
always make sure that your file is saved as Unicode, or you are
likely to have sporadic encoding problems.
The most common alternative format for .strings files is the
standard XML plist format. If you use this format, then you should
make sure that your file is saved as UTF-8, or you are likely to
have sporadic encoding problems. Make sure that you also follow XML
standards for escaping characters such as "<" that have special
meaning to XML.
