There are many different ways to encode non-Latin characters in files. MediaWiki and all its extensions use UTF-8 as their only encoding. When editing files with non-Latin symbols, you must make sure that your editor uses this encoding, or it will mess up the file contents (even if you do not change the non-Latin symbols at all). See the documentation for your editor for details on how to select the right character encoding. If the default message texts are already showing wrongly on your installation, something might have gone wrong when installing SF (maybe the files got corrupted by editing them earlier with the tool you use?), or the messages are really wrong at translatewiki.net (unlikely, but you can go to that site to check). The best way to customize MediaWiki messages for a wiki is to edit the page MediaWiki:message_name, e.g. MediaWiki:sf_formstart_noform_docu, on your wiki.
