The error was because you used { before some words. Not {0}, just {Thanks for your reply.
Mine "etranslate.txt" is encoded in UTF-8, same as your original file (if this is the encoding you've mentioned).
Nevertheless, I would be thankful if you could have a look.
Regarding second reply, I've never been into programming (yet), thus I think I'll leave it alone for now.
I'll have your answer at the back of my head if I ever wanted to get back to this topic.
