 * This is more of a PHP question I guess, but….
 * I’ve downloaded the sharepointlike theme, and parts of it are in cyrillic. I’ve
   looked at the source, and it has strings in the following form:
 * Коментари
 * I have 0 experience with PHP, but I’m guessing this is some sort of PHP representation
   for UTF-8. Any guidance there?
 * What I’d like to be able to do is put in strings manually to include a few languanges;
   I’d like to have some Japanese and Czech, but mostly English.
 * I am not talking about having different languages in the comments or articles
   themselves, just a smattering in the pages themselves, much in the way that sharepointlike
   does with Russian.
 * How can I do this?

 * 1. That’s a known mistake the theme’s author forgot to delete 🙂
    2. It means“
   Comments” and just delete it and replace it with the English text. 3. If you 
   have a text editor that supports utf-8 you can write in the files in any language
   you want.

 * It’s not a mistake, it’s a feature. At least for me. 🙂
 * I’ll try to reverse-engineer (or translate) the Russian stuff. I have UTF-8 editors,
   so I’ll play with it. Thanks.

 * OK, I’ve tried some UTF-8 editors that I have. None will render the stuff in 
   the theme correctly. The chars are represented as & # 1234 ; …. What is this?
   How do I write it?
 * What editors do people use to write this particular char representation?
 * I use linux mostly, but I have access to windowsXP, so either way will work if
   someone can recommend an editor to use….
 * Thanks.
