The file must also have a BOM (Byte Order Marker) So this is a conversion you must do in your text editor. For example in Notepad++ it is this one.

utf-8 with BOM

Hello, Thanks for your reply.
I downloaded the file "TW3-bible-module-spec.doc"
I recommend using the ANSI

"5. The files can either be in ANSII or UTF8 encoding (for UTF8 files, a BOM is required at the beginning: most editors will add this automatically). For ANSII files, an attribute must be added to the end of the file (charset=n), in order to be properly recognized. In general, ANSII files are a bit faster to handle/search. If the Bible module contains a language that can be supported by a standard ANSII encoding, it’s use is encouraged."

What would be the advantages of using one or another encoding?

If using ansii (and the language you are working on is using a know charset), then you should be fine as long as you put the property charset=XXX at the bottom.
Ansii files are a bit faster to process, but this was mostly the case 10 years ago when CPUs are slower... nowadays it is prefferrable to work with UTF8.
