some basic question, if i may

[ozi]

hey.

i not really a coder or php guru but i kinda learn from the "reverse" engineering if i may say so. anyway; i've already traslated a couple of WP plugins, etc. and i also did some language tweaks for revolution media pro.

the thing that bothers me is that i really don't know which files can be encoded from ANSI to UTF-8 for an example (i need eastern lagugage support). so, sometimes i get messed up theme or wp blog, or whatever.

so, are there any rules of which "files" can be re-encoded and which can not. i hope i did make myself clear enough.
thank you
