The really elegant solution consists in making PROBLEMS file also
language dependent: when `C-h t' opens `TUTORIAL.pl', `C-h P' should
open `PROBLEMS.pl' instead of `PROBLEMS'. Then the following text
should be sufficient:
You are looking at the Emacs tutorial. If it contains
non-ASCII (non-English?) letters (characters?) which are not
displayed correctly, consult `Emacs Known Problems' in `Help'
menu.
Is it short enough not to cause the problem mentioned below?

Yes.

It is a Polish site devoted especially to problems with handling
Polish letters by computer software. Ryszard Kubiak, the main
translator of the tutorial, may provide more information if needed.

That's a real problem! I hope the translators will propose a solution.
