It may be the difference in the character sets for each platform. If you 
always develop on a Mac, use macToISO() on the character when the 
platform is win32. LC usually does the conversion by itself, but if you 
are populating the list from a custom property, the script has to do it.

If you aren't using a custom property then I'm not sure why it isn't 
translating. Is the list coming from somewhere outside LC? If so, 
textDecode() should work.
