I don't know enough about your setup to be sure, but I have been hit by a
problem similar to this on a Solaris box running IPlanet. The problem was
that the file holding the translations was stored using a different encoding
to the one that was being used to read in the file. You have to be careful
with file encodings, especially as Java attempts to default to a file
encoding that it _believes_ is appropriate.. it can be wrong. There is a
system property that can override the default.. I forget what it is though.
However all file streams can have the encoding explicetly set.
