That's awesome. But you need to figure out a way where translator can insert their special carahteres without the utf-8 code.
For example, I want to write "dog" in portuguese. I want to write "Cão" and not "C&#227";o. Do you understand what I mean? For me it's not a problem at all. I'm thinking in other that don't know the utf-8 "alphabet".
I do understand what you mean, and I'm sure we'll figure something out. I don't know what yet, but there's time before we get there.
Excuse my ignorance, I'm new in this and maybe that is why I fail to see the problem here. I'm using the Cyrillic alphabet and my SMF forum is set as utf-8. I often translate mods and untranslated/mistranslated strings in the language pack. Bulgarian has not that many special characters and they are used rarely, but still I have never used the codes instead of direct inputs. I checked the Portuguese SMF lang pack and all the special Latin characters are input directly. Why Wedge would have a problem with that?!

..... or you are talking about the cases where the user's keyboard has no preset special characters?!

Or I'm so ignorant that I even can't understand what are you talking about :)...

I was thinking to start a thread about this topic, so will use the chance to ask something:
Are there any SMF strings left or translation needs to start from scratch?

Here is where we discussed it:

It was long time ago and when I read it now I laugh at myself (some wrong examples).

Do you think it will be a bad think if fader block has fixed size equal to the longest news and stay that way all the time? Thinking about it now I see a way how the fader block automatically can be set to the size of the longest text using only css. IMO this will be better than the current situation. The only problem is if there are multiple short news and one very long, that way most of the time the space will be used inefficiently, but after all this is up to the admin. As you said there are not many solutions. At least this will prevent the jumping layout.

If you fix the jumping board index caused by the newsfader (when long and short news rotate) that will be nice. When we discussed SMF 2.1 I was surprised that that is not seen as a problem. Not giant, but still a problem, IMO.
