 * Hi!
 * I tried to translate the name “comments” to “comentários” but the blog doesn’t
   show it.
    On the other hand, the categories that I created using latim characters
   in the name work well. Is there anything that can be done? In the admin page 
   there is a option called:
 * Admin > Options > Reading
 *  where we can find an option called “Encoding for pages and feeds”. Do I need
   to change it? But what do I write in the place of “UTF-8” ?
 * Thank You!

 * For translation you do NOT change the character encoding.
    Did you try to find
   a translation for your language here? [http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language)
