It seems that the <extension-description> element in a "description.xml"
file can refer to multiple files that each are authored in a different
language, e.g.:
<extension-description>
<src xlink:href="information/description_de.txt" lang="de"/>
<src xlink:href="information/description_en.txt" lang="en"/>
</extension-description>
However, testing the German description file shows the German umlauts
with the wrong glyphs in the extension manager, which may indicate that
the codepage used by OOo to display the text is not matching the
codepage the text got created with.
What codepage should a German extension description file be authored, in
order for the package manager to dipslay the German umlauts correctly?
(Alternatively, is there a place where one could explicitly determine
which codepage got used to create that text? If so, where and how could
that be done?)
