Hi,
I'm in the middle of developing an application in python, wxPython, and
PythonCard.

The nature of the application require it to be internationalized, and
localized in a number of languages.

I have separate python files for each language file, and import each
language file dynamically as requested by the user.

I currently have the app running in english and spanish without any
problems, however, I recently had the contents of the interface translated
into Farsi (Iranian persian), and I have been unable to get python to play
nice with the language file.

In my spanish file, I set the encoding to utf-8, and everything worked fine,
however, when I do the same for the farsi file, it does not work.

Does anyone have any suggestions that I could try?

Thanks.
