I did reply to the maintainer privately[1] that I was happy to convert the translation to UTF-8 or that he could do it himself using iconv. Using msgconv is of course better since it also handles the content type/charset setting - thx for the tip, Christian. However, as I suggested to the maintainer - what about actually inserting the preferred charset in the pot file? Regards, Hans [1] I didn't notice that the bug tracker also was on recipient list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
