Hi,

When I'm editing locallang.xml files in the BE using Quixplorer, it
doesn't get saved as a UTF8 file, so I get the error about the locallang
file not being a proper langage file...

What is it that dictates which character encoding is used when saving
files? Is it Quixplorer? Some TS constant? Or is it more fundamental at
a PHP/OS level?

Ideally somewhere in TS I could do plugin.t3quixplorer.charset = UTF8

Any advice/ideas?

Are you sure you did not put html entities in locallang file? Those
should better be stored as CDATA.

What exactly does the error message say? How does the line look it
refers to?

If I copy'n'paste from a source, and that source includes the Danish æ ø
å characters, and then save the aforementioned locallang.xml file in
Quixplorer, when I try to view the extension in the FE that makes use of
this locallang file, I get an error, for example:

The file
"/var/www/vhosts/*******.dk/httpdocs/typo3conf/ext/sr_email_subscribe/pi1/dk.locallang.xml"
is no TYPO3 language file!

However, if I paste the copied data directly into a text editor (in my
case Dreamweaver) and then FTP the file up to the server, it works fine.
Obviously, when subsequently editing the file in Quixplorer, the UTF8
entities are converted to for example Ã¥ = å

The only difference that I can think of, is that when saving the file in
Dreamweaver, it saves it and encodes it as a UTF8 file, whereas
Quixplorer doesn't.

But I could be wrong...

Your BE charset. It is different depending on the language. Most likely yours is iso-8859-1.

Quixplorer is BE module, therefore there is no "plugin" thing.

Use llxmltranslate

Of course... I should have known that. D'oh! Oh well... the site's
virtually fully implemented now, so I'm not going to convert it to
UTF8... I've heard that's a nightmare!

Ah, okay ... got you wrong on your problem. Dmitry's answer will help
your more.
