The Norwegian translators recently discovered that their translations were having few encoding errors. The PO file for Debian Installer was mentioned as using UTF-8 encoding, but on a few places, invalid characters were there.
This yielded me to try testing these files. Though I've read that iconv cannot always detect every possible errors, I've used it on all files. For each language, I have to possibilities: -if the translation is using UTF-8, I try converting it to another encoding which is suited for that language. For that, I've built a table by grabbing information here and there and using my own knowledge of these languages. See at the end of this mail and please correct it In a few cases (fa, hi), I simply do not have any alternate encoding and the script does nothing -if the translation uses another encoding, I try converting it to UTF-8 Languages which do not use the master file (pt, nl, uk...) have not been tested. Below is the result. Please notice that some "INVALID" warnings may be false alarms because the chosen alternate encoding is inappropriate. In such case, please check the alternate encoding table.
