Yes. Maybe they're HTML chars. But I want know in &lt;message&gt;: what's the status of the message word?Should we translate it? It should be as &lt;message&gt; or &ltپیام&gt;

i think this is a system message and we don't translate it, it's a system variable and when the system wants to show a message MESSAGE replace with the original message. i hope my thought be true. i'm waiting other person give us their ideas,too.

thanks, Kazem
