Please provide any additional information below.

this plugin works very well with the version of windows bukkit 1.4R0.1

but my hoster is on linux, when I start the server, some are illegible character, same format utf-8 ...

I use fr_FR.yml file (without modification) does not work
I encode in utf-8: result: it does not work
I picked up the original file and I change to enelver all special characters: it does not work

in the log file, you can see that there is also a problem of recognition of file en_us.yml

Thank you for reporting this error. I'm currently busy, but I'll try to have a look a it as soon as possible, next week maybe :)
