Does a french text with à work by you ?
It could come from the standard coding of french which is not unicode but ansi on 1 byte
See http://www.docmemo.com/informatique/codesansi.php
The order of the letters looks the same.
More tests
A one letter text containing à alone is accepted.
As soon as à is use in normal context it is not accepted, giving a zero word text.
But if I put a point behind the à then the text is accepted - for example if I put à. la maison.
this is accepted and gives 2 sentences and 3 words.
The same without the space between the point and the L in LA gives 2 words la and maison.
Strange indeed. Since it looks like a sentence separation problem I delete the Exceptions Split Sentences - I do not know the goal of this part ? No effect. I also test with a-zA-Z followed by all spécial letters in french - no effect.

I work on a french windows with firefox and tried IE.
My local server is easyphp in french.
I try to set easyphp in English - first it did not look to change anything but now it becomes more and more strange - I am not sure it comes because of this language change.
The fact is that when checking I still get a 1 sentence but zero word BUT if I read the text it is ok BUT there is a question mark replacing the à. By the way this question mark should make it 2 sentences.
So far when I checked and got a zero words there, the text was empty - so in many tests I only consider the result of the check without trying to insert.
Maybe people could try to create a french text with a à and tell if they have some
troubles.
Maybe the special characters should not be alone but part of a word -
I just tried the following sentence ; Il faut bien é il accepte where é should be et in correct french but this is for testing.
The result is the same Il faut bien ? il accepte (1 sentence 4 words).
There is no such problem with one letter word like y a.

Version 0.6 seems to be running correctly for me. The only things that don't look quite right are associated with XAMPP. Normally it is not running when I start my computer. To start it, I either double-click the XAMPP Control icon that it installed, or run xampp-control from the command line in C:\xampp\. In either case, I get a pop-up window warning saying: "XAMPP Component Status Check failure [3]. Current directory: C:\xampp. Run this program only from your XAMPP root directory." In either case, it starts the XAMPP control application, and starts Apache and MySQL. Then I open http://127.0.0.1/lwt/ in Firefox, and it works fine.
However, I have tried a number of times to upgrade from 0.6 to 0.7, with no success. Now I tried upgrading from 0.6 to 0.8, also with no success. This is what I do, and what happens:
1. With version 0.6, I copy c:\xampp\htdocs\lwt to a safe place.
2. In c:\xampp\htdocs\lwt, I delete everything except the directory "media" and the file "connect.inc.php".
3. I unzip 0.8 into a directory and delete the directory "media" and the file "connect.inc.php".
4. I copy everything that remains in the 0.8 directory to c:\xampp\htdocs\lwt
5. I start xampp which starts apache and mysql.
6. I open http://127.0.0.1/lwt/ in Firefox.
7. It refuses to start and displays: DB connect error
8. I copy the old 0.6 files back to ...\lwt and everything works fine.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

Well, after a lot of work, I figured out that lwt was not picking up the password change in mysql. By setting the password manually, 0.8 lwt opened the home page but gave the error;
Invalid query: select StValue as value from settings where StKey = 'currentlanguage'
I can't figure that out. So I am now back in 0.6.

@tommus
Please delete your old installation and make a complete reinstall with LWT version 0.8.1 (just released)
Do not change the install location (c:\xampp), do not change/set the db password.
Follow exactly the descriptions.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
@Michel1020
I can only give support for XAMPP and MAMP local web servers.
Please use XAMPP and use the current version of LWT (0.8.1).
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I followed the instructions exactly, except that I did not create a new database in mysql. I had already taken a lot of time to import data including a 145,000 word pairs dictionary.
But now I get the same message:
Invalid query: select StValue as value from settings where StKey = 'currentlanguage'
when I open: http://127.0.0.1/lwt/
Sorry that I am causing you so much work. I wonder if other users have any comments.
