CK translated text shows up as gibberish

Hi. I decided of translating the texts of Skyrim in my language,Greek,so many fellow Greeks that would like to play it but can't because of its excessives dialogues that are written in English.

A problem came up though.

I've placed the appropriate font .swf files in the Date>Interface folder,and I also translated some text by editing the Translate_ENGLISH.txt file,which contained some words that appear on menus.

I fired up Skyrim,and indeed the words I translated in the Translate_ENGLISH.txt folder appear as they should in the game. That made me smile,and I decided then to translate the rest of the text.

So my next step was to open the Creation Kit and start replacing the texts of NPC dialogues,and the names of things in my language. But unfortunately all text edited on the CK appears wrong in the game. :(

Instead of the Greek letters it shows up some weird symbols that I guess aren't even letters in any language of the world.

I have a screenshot attached in this thread,so you can see what I'm talking about,showcasing both text edited wordpad,and text edited with the CK.

What am I doing wrong ? Please explain me how I can move on and translate the game so more people can understand the quests and thus start doing them,and be able to play this game!
