I'm not a legal expert just thought it's worth to mention.

Well I can write in English too :D  What I'm talking about is what encoding did you set gedit to? If it's utf-8 then it would explain the problem. By default Wine is not using utf-8 for resource files since windows doesn't. You need to use the same encoding that windows uses cp-1250 if I'm not mistaken.
