Polish translation?
I had this problem like 1-2 years ago when trying to add a polish translation to my installer.

I'm having difficulties saving the text file. If I use ANSI, all the special characters are converted to their latin counterparts. If I use UTF-8 or Unicode, the installer will not compile, generating this error message:

Invalid command: þÿ
!include: error in script: "fquake-lang-polish.nsi" on line 1

Is there any way of being able to copy/paste a Polish translation into a text file and actually being able to use it? Or must I ask my Polish translator to send me a .txt file created on his computer every time he makes changes? This is not a very smooth way of updating translations for my project :/

It depends on your editor. Some don't do too many conversions on their own and a simply copy & paste works. The best way is to get a complete text file from the translator. But I usually find Notepad works just fine.

I guess your computer must be enabled to displaying Polish text. I can't even see the Polish special letters inside the installer. However, the Polish translator can see them just fine and tells me the Polish translation is working great.

I'm not getting why I can't see certain language special files with my Windows.

Nope, it's enabled for Hebrew. I don't see the Polish characters, but when I copy them, the bytes stay the same and that's all that matters.
