Translations in event_text.csv #26

I notice that this file has an encoding problem. Currently, no single encoding seems to work with it, since it contains unique characters from both Western and Eastern European languages. This naturally causes problems when trying to edit it, because saving in one encoding makes the characters from other encoding broken. I tried converting it to UTF-8, but Darkest Hour seems unable to properly decode it (characters outside ISO range are displayed improperly). I also didn't found any official information or documentation on what encodings are supported by DH and where.

The solution I see is to leave only English content, delete the rest and encode it with something that works. Another is to leave all Western European languages, but from what I see they are not well maintained anyways. Thoughts?

In all likelyhood we will be moving strictly to English only until we can get the language issue sorted out. I would love to have translation work but if this is causing problems for other players then we will remove the other translations.
