Thanks for asking, Jonny.

I started translating to Spanish by hand, but ended up figuring out how to use the Google Translate API to translate the rest of it. Then, I figured I might as well try to add some other languages. The only problem is, LU seems to have a different font file for each language (English, German, and Russian, although Russian translations were never added). So, except for Russian, I set the rest of the languages to the English font file, which seemed to cause some problems with the box/missing/error characters you’re seeing on the screen.

If you open client\locale\locale.xml manually, like with Notepad++, you will see that all the characters are displaying correctly there. At the bottom of the file is all of the interesting stuff that I think would be the only way to mess with the fonts and stuff. My locale.xml has it looking something like this:

    </fonts>

Perhaps we could figure out if these are really the optimal settings for each language. I only had limited knowledge of what I was doing. Also, I don’t have access to the GTranslate API anymore but I don’t think we would need it to fix this, if it can be fixed. Maybe try switching the font to Times New Roman to see if anything changes?
