File Editor Notes
Make sure, when you edit the language file, that your text editor saves the language file as Unicode (UTF8) and WITHOUT a BOM signature.
If your text editor saves the language file with a BOM signature, you will see an error on your forums.

List of text editors that are capable of saving without BOM signature (this list is small since I just started compiling it)
note: if you are using a Mac, you can use almost any file editor available to you.

1. ZEND
2. Dreamweaver
3. Rapid PHP 2007
