There are more problems which Steffen doesn't see because he uses probably 
German.

readLLfile() returns the string in the charset of the BE language. Which is 
iso-8859-1 for German but not for other languages. So utf8_encode() may 
fail. Use the arrays and functions of t3lib_cs to to convert to the correct 
charset.

Note that $LANG->charset holds the current charset which ay or may not be 
utf8 depending on forceCharset. So utf8-encoding will not be the right 
thing for you depending on your site.
