Ok, that sounds clear. My Problem is at this point, that we render all 
Output to UTF-8 (even German). With most chars this works fine, as we 
are able to edit and insert all chars normally used by windows with 
eclipse in this file.
But if we go to ru or cn, there are some chars that won't be displayed 
on a ISO Windows. So we normally insert the UTF-8 representantive. That 
doesn't work because they are encoded twice.

But taking this discussion to an end: There is no way to have ready to 
go UTF-8 encoded text for your labels in an extension but using the TS?

The only way i found is to convert to locallang.xml files
