The official distributor for the Polish translation of Skyrim encodes their string tables in Windows-1250, so this needs to be supported.

Need to also investigate which language setting value(s) in Skyrim.ini cause the fallback encoding to be chosen as Windows-1250, then put this info up on UESP.

Would be good to have. Need to read up on what this entails.

This is only tangentially related to libstrings, in that it only offers to save in UTF-8, which is only the default for Japanese. If it offered to save in other encodings, then the issue might be avoided, but it's not a sure thing, since it depends on the mod user's combination of string encodings.

I'm currently investigating the feasiblity of a code patch to make sure the two strings are in the same encoding prior to substitution, or whether it would be better to have a utility that would localise all installed plugins in the same encoding.

At the moment, libstrings assumes that any file with a .strings, .ilstrings or .dlstrings must be a valid strings file. It would be good if it could check that what it contains makes sense.
