Report a translation problem
I've got good news and bad news.
The good news is that it is possible to add language support by embedding the appropriate fonts and handling translated strings in Lua(if any).

The bad news is that, given my limited knowledge, it's not exactly feasible to maintain different swfs for each language (especially as the mod is work-in-progress). Bundling the entire char-set into a single SWF is also something I'd like to avoid. As it stands, localization will have to wait, at least until I deem the mod stable.
The mod is open-source, and anyone willing to recompile the localized swfs to keep up with the mod, fork their own version or otherwise contribute is welcome to do so.
The Take Notes mod has a small english.xml for item name and description, but it has no way to account for all the dynamically generated text you can type in. You cannot translate something that does not exist ahead of time :P
The UI elements (SWFs) can only display the characters that have been font-embedded in them. Currently, they only support English characters. I'll try embedding characters from other languages and see if the UI handles their display and input. Will have to add support for translated strings in Lua as well. The UI components should then be able to support both static and dynamic texts in other languages.
I will certainly look into it when I find the time, but it might take a while.
