Hey DM,

I am fluent in Turkish and can help out here. That being said I'm a little
confused what you're into here. Can you point me at where to see the source
files for this in context and where it comes out in an app?

It looks from the bits you pasted like a file somewhere along the line got
read and interpreted with the wrong code-page. Of the text you pasted, all
of it is wrong, but it is all off with a 1-to-1 character transpose that
could make it right. All the "O"s are "İ" and all the "1"s are "I" in the
dictionary list for example.
