How can I translate static text in my templates that have accents?
We are in the process of translating one of our client sites into 16 (yes that's 16!) languages and we haven't had any issues with accented characters.

The only thing I can suggest off the top of my head is to ensure you are using UTF-8 character encoding. Pop this in your &lt;head&gt;:

&lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt;


Hope that helps.
