A quick note to translators:
You have to make sure, that your code-editor saves in UTF-8!
Mine used "Windows 1252: Western European", leading me (and others?) to the solution of escaping symbols to +String.fromCharCode(###)+, to get it displayed right on the PRS 505 screen.
With a correct configured editor, you can simply type in the symbols.

You can quick-check with a hex-editor. If e.g "ä" is coded as C3 A4 you are using UTF-8 and all is fine, if you see any other code (eg a single E4 -this is Win 1252) you have to change the character encoding.
