Igor wants to update the .po files for Romanian, but the current 
translations (or only some of them?) contain html entities for the 
Romanian special characters[1]. Do we need to preserve those or can we 
just put the characters there. The Romanian pages use UTF-8 for 
encoding.

[1] The special characters are: ăĂâÂîÎșȘțȚ and the „” quotes.

Andrei

You should be able to just use the characters right away. The entities
are probably there because the contents was migrated from the old
system, where strings were stored in the template .wml files.

It is probably best to use the same encoding for the .po file as for
the .wml files.
