Gabor hi - I have solution for you
1. I'll contact the person who put the add and ask them to change it to English
2.The problem is that the site transfered the chars above ascii 127 to
entities such as - é and those usually are trasnffered to
jibrish here is a simple script to fix it

sub convert_entities_to_ascii
{

    my (%ENTITY);
    %ENTITY = (
               '"'   => '"',
               '&lt;'     => '<',
               '&gt;'     => '>',
               '&amp;'    => ' & ', # prevents &amp;network => &ne ...
               '&nbsp;'   => ' ',      # non-breaking space (decimal 160)
               '&agrave;' => "\xE0",
               "&aacute;" => "\xE1",
               "&acirc;"  => "\xE2",
               "&atilde;" => "\xE3",
               "&auml;"   => "\xE4",
               "&aring;"  => "\xE5",
               "&AElig;"  => "\xE6",
               "&ccedil;" => "\xE7",
               "&egrave;" => "\xE8",
               "&eacute;" => "\xE9",
               "&ecirc;"  => "\xEA",
               "&euml;"   => "\xEB",
               "&igrave;" => "\xEC",
               "&iacute;" => "\xED",
               "&icirc;"  => "\xEE",
               "&iuml;"   => "\xEF",
               "&eth;"    => "\xF0",
               "&ntilde;" => "\xF1",
               "&ograve;" => "\xF2",
               "&oacute;" => "\xF3",
               "&ocirc;"  => "\xF4",
               "&otilde;" => "\xF5",
               "&ouml;"   => "\xF6",
               "&oslash;" => "\xF8",
               "&ugrave;" => "\xF9",
               "&uacute;" => "\xFA",
               "&ucirc;"  => "\xFB",
               "&uuml;"   => "\xFC",
               "&yacute;" => "\xFD",
               "&thorn;"  => "\xFE",
               "&yuml;"   => "\xFF",
               '&div;'    => "\xF7",
               '&divide;' => "\xF7");

    # Substitute named entities
    $$text =~ s/(&[a-zA-Z]+;)/
        exists $ENTITY{$1} ? $ENTITY{$1} : ''
