Well the Finnish teamleader and translator are the same person, me :) I
have had few people to proofread the texts from time to time. 

I know that the unicode is big problem for the translators because it's
so unsupported. I have also built my own Linux distribution etc. so
playing with editors and tools is quite familiar for me.

I'll suggest that you try KBabel, it's excellent tool for translating and
supports utf-8.
