hi Daniel,

1. afaik if you edit locallang.php in polish you have to use ISO-8859-2 
encoding. The same other languages - you must know theirs encodings and 
change accordingly. Do not edit locallang.php in utf-8 unless you want 
to get those "??".

2. latest there was some changes in translation support in TYPO3. Now 
the translations are in *.xml files and uses utf-8. For example latest 
version of tt_news (2.3.1+) support this. You can edit those *.xml files 
manually or you can use special extension: llxmltranslate.

It depends on extension owner if he uses locallang.xml or locallang.php 
but it is strongly recommended to switch to *.xml.

have a nice day
