I am developing a webpage in 2 different languages. Swedish and English. I am using the CGI::Application framework with HTML::Template as a template system
I am using the Class::PhraseBook module to accomplish this.
Class::PhraseBook loads an XML file which holds my phrases in Swedish and English, it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE phrasebook [
<!ELEMENT phrasebook (dictionary)*>              
<!ELEMENT dictionary (phrase)*>
<!ATTLIST dictionary name CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT phrase (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST phrase name CDATA #REQUIRED>
]>
<phrasebook>
<dictionary name="SE">
<phrase name="1">tävlingar</phrase>                 
</dictionary>
<dictionary name="EN">
<phrase name="1">comp</phrase>                              </dictiona
+ry>
</phrasebook>

I create the C::PhraseBook objekt in my CGI::App base class like this. 
# get phrasebook
$self->param('pb' => new Class::Phrasebook(undef, $self->param('phrase
+_url')));

[download]
I load the correct language in my subroutines. 
# phrasebook handle
my $pb = $self->param('pb');    
$pb->load("SE");

[download]
and substitute the variable in my HTML::Template file. 
$tmpl->param(1 => $pb->get("1") );

I want it to print out the Swedish word "tävlingar" but I get the following word "tävlingar" I can't get the Swedish letters å,ä and ö to work with Class::PhraseBook. There is something with the encoding of the XML file that I am missing. I seems like Class::PhraseBook have already decided what encoding to use. Anybody have a solution?
