 * I got a old swedish-language file so I downloaded the new one. After that a lot
   of new things are in swedish. The problem is it no longer can show Å Ä Ö. All
   swedish-letters becomes ?.
 * Someone got a clue?

 * You mean in the posts or in text coded in the files?
    Probably it is a matter
   of different encoding (charset).

 * The text in the admin-system/Dashboard etc.
    The post I do still looks nice.

 * The only thing I can think of is still the encoding = charset.
    What is your 
   blog’s default encoding? utf-8? In that case the translation has another one.

 * Aha. Now I understand what you mean 🙂
    My blog is using utf-8. Should I change,
   or may I only got problems with my post then?
 * BTW, using Firefox 1.5

 * If you change – and posts were made in utf-8, then everything will be a mess 
   🙁
 * Are you sure you downloaded the correct version from here?

   The non-marked is utf-8!
