Can a Resource file (.fr) be of type "Unicode text document"?

Question

Dear All,
I'm doing string localization in my plugin programs. I created a resource file (MyPlugIn2_arAE.fr) for defining arabic strings. When I saved this file, I selected the type as "Unicode Text Document". Becuase only if it is a Unicode Text Document my arabic strings are preoperly saved. If I selected the type as "Text document" and save the file, all my arabic strings became "????????" like that. Now the problem is, it's giving a compilation error. (This is because the resource file MyPlugIn2_arAE.fr is saved as "Unicode Text Document").
Error looking for resource specification. Need 'resource' or 'type'.
odfrc - Execution terminated! 
How do I resolve this problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
I tried compiling with CS3 SDK, it gave an error and some warnings. I copied the output below. But with CS4 SDK, it compiles fine. How do I resolve this?
