The plugin is released under GPL - anybody can edit the plugin as they want. Plus, any user is free to upload a translation of the plugin if the author allows it - and there really isn't any other way of creating a language file.

@Starf, the only thing I can recommend is to make sure your document is saved as UTF. The encoding might be wrong... either that, or the plugin might not be displaying them correctly, and you should contact the author.

A way to check is to open the document in something like Wordpad - if it's saved correctly, Wordpad will display the characters. If not, it will show diamond shaped characters like you see on the webpage.

tnx, will try out tomorrow (@work)
