I don't know how much time I will have for translating mods, as it's holiday season here... I just finished translating rest of the strings in unmodified 2.6.0 ... Will reupload them later this week.

Finnish only has three accented characters "a ring", "a umlaut" and "o umlaut"... What is the problem except those three characters is the characters required by EU and some incomplete characters (minuscule or capital letter missing in Latin-1).

I am still working on the admin panel related strings for Finnish language packs, but those are low priority as I don't have admin access on the forum the packs were originally made for.

The problem with UTF-8 is that for a lot of languages, it doesn't represent all the characters correctly or efficiently... Some characters have two possible values and some values represent two or more characters.

For Finnish, I would have to make three variations, Latin-1, Latin-15 and UTF-8 if I were to support all possible operating systems and browser versions... Latin-1 is the oldest one, the one that all the common operating systems and browsers support. Latin-15 is the newest one that has additional characters that some people could need.

Because the forum it was written for does use Latin-1... It doesn't take long to convert it to UTF-8, but maintaining two copies makes no sense until all the strings are translated.

Still work in progress, but already a lot of the strings are translated...
