I will have a look at this.

I think we'd better leave them in English. Translating these doesn't
sound like a good idea -- we  can't handle bug reports in other
languages and the GPL is a legal document.

Anyway, I at least made them work.

Fixed.

The line-height is fine, but there was a #thread li {padding: 1em;},
which caused the space between list items. Should be also fixed.

Done.

UTF-8 is the default encoding for xml documents, so the problem is
actually in the feed reader. However, feel free to file a ticket into
the bbPress about it: trac: http://trac.bbpress.org/

You have to be quick. We'll see who will update it first next time :-)

Happy translating,
Nikolay.
