This was hidden in http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2002/07/msg00096.html You may add any field in the header section of PO files to help translation coordination. Of course if you did not know what I was talking about, this message was pretty clueless, sorry. > [email protected] it is for German, and toddy jumped > in to do it now for the German files, thanks. > > Please add the header informations to your po files. > > About the header itself: I now wonder if Content-Type has any influence > at all.

But as conversion is performed on all web pages, choosing the same charset as the one in .wmlrc should consume less CPU usage. Denis
