Another Newbie Question (RSS FEED)

One of the apps I'm creating is a fan page to a baseball team. The app will be in spanish therefore the rss feed is also in spanish. Once I pull the rss feed everything shows allright except the language is all messed up, is there any way at all to add like a spanish dictionary or some type of compatible language file so that the feed doesn't get replaced by a bunch of unknown characters? I also don't know how different the approval process is since the app is mostly gonna be directed to spanish countries, if anybody has any input... Thank you

If the text is in Spanish and your app is running v1.5 you should not see garbled text. The text wont be translated but it should not be garbled. If it is, the RSS feed is not outputting UTF-8 data. Next, translation. You can add lanuage files to your app that match the existing Localized.Strings file (Google how to add a new language file in Xcode). Copy n paste the contents of the English file to get started. This will translate key values in the app but will NOT magically tranlsate the contents of the RSS Feed. If you point to a Spanish RSS feed you'll get Spanish text.
