[FM Discuss] Fwd: About http://translate.flossmanuals.net encoding

[James Simmons]

Aleksander,

I assume we're talking about the Spanish version of "Make Your Own
Sugar Activities!" here.  I used Babel Fish to create a rough
translation of the chapter titles and the contents because I don't
speak the language.  Native speakers have been polishing it, as has a
retired teacher who does speak the language.  When you edit the TOC
entries they look OK, as I remember, but when the text is displayed it
looks funny.

As an American my knowledge of non-ascii encodings is rudimentary at best.
