 * Which encoding are you using? In case you use UTF-8 all over, you won’t experience
   this.

 * Those 3 characters are the UTF-8 identification; It’s good to have them, but 
   gettext doesn’t know how to interpert them. Use a lame editor (edit.com in Windows,
   pico/nano/joe in Linux) to remove them, than gettext will translate the strings
   as if they were regular latin-1 encoding.
    It will work fine, since the PHP files
   do declare a UTF-8 encoding to the browser.
