    I finally had some success with this that I thought I'd document before I forgot it all.

    First I took the language pack from Sir Yaro, and ran it through the converter at http://www.motobit.com/util/charset-...conversion.asp, setting the input to iso-8859-2 and the output to utf-8. Once I did that I could see the characters correctly in notepad. Then I set the encoding and the charset to UTF-8 in the XML file, at which time the XML viewer in IE started to display the characters correctly. At that point I tried to upload it into vB, but it did not display the UTF-8 correctly, although it was at least an improvement over the truncation that was occurring previously. What worked for me at that point was the information in this quote from another thread:

    *******************************************************
    UPDATE: If u find that all charactors become '???', please follow the steps:
    Open includes/class_xml.php
    Find:
    PHP Code:
    function &parse($encoding = 'ISO-8859-1', $emptydata = true)

    Replace with:
    PHP Code:
    function &parse($encoding = 'UTF-8', $emptydata = true)
    *******************************************************

    Seems to be working well so far...
