Hi Rosyna,

After a closer look, I think that there's something fishy going on.
In the file "Localizable.strings", I use the danish character 'f', however,
it shows up fine in the dialog-box. I now converted the other file,
"Custom.strings" to a plain string-list again, just to make it consistent.
Now, I found out that the character is in fact changed to a 16bit character
(2 bytes wide), that's the real reason it works. But then again, I find this
strange, because in the other file, it works... Is the Localizable.strings
a special file, or is the encoding in fact saved with the document ?
-If it is, I think I just have to duplicate the original Localized.strings
and rename it Custom.strings. ;)
