 * The same problem with language-specific characters is also when trying to translate.
   As long as I have no information so far how to include additional language file,
   I tried to translate wp-athletics-en.php. This does not support language specific
   characters that show up on screen as black rombs with question mark. I took a
   screenshot – you can see it there [http://lora.eu.pn/wp-content/plugins/wp-athletics/includes/lang/Lang-chars.JPG](http://lora.eu.pn/wp-content/plugins/wp-athletics/includes/lang/Lang-chars.JPG)

 * Hi Jurisra,
 * Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I hope to resolve this issue in the
   next release.
