I think the only "right" solution, is the total migration to utf8, in which regards the po/ directory. Of course, that implies that to manipulate the files, you will need an unicode capable environment. But it is the only way that you can edit files with different character sets without messing it all up. Converting the files to utf8 is trivial for me, I can easily do that. I can also patch the .po files which have a different charset, to use utf8. Since it is a technical patch, and not a proper locale edition, I don't see a reason to regenerate them, so, original authors and such will still be kept. I can do that and submit the files into a tarball, so we make sure they are not messed in the way. But that would only work if the files are used to substitute the ones in the cvs repository. Any copy paste done in a non utf8 aware environment or with a non aware editor can mess them up again. Anything that's non-utf8 is just not ok when you have to deal with multiple encodings (for me). Let me know what do you think about the idea. As you can see, at the current state, this is just a mess: [snip] $ for i in *.po; do echo -n $i - ; enca -L none $i; done fvwm.ar.po -Universal transformation format 8 bits; UTF-8 Surrounded by/intermixed with non-text data fvwm.de.po -Unrecognized encoding fvwm.fr.po -Unrecognized encoding FvwmScript.ar.po -7bit ASCII characters FvwmScript.de.po -Unrecognized encoding FvwmScript.fr.po -Unrecognized encoding FvwmScript.sv_SE.po -Unrecognized encoding FvwmScript.zh_CN.po -Universal transformation format 8 bits; UTF-8 fvwm.sv_SE.po -Unrecognized encoding FvwmTaskBar.ar.po -Universal transformation format 8 bits; UTF-8 FvwmTaskBar.de.po -7bit ASCII characters FvwmTaskBar.fr.po -7bit ASCII characters FvwmTaskBar.sv_SE.po -Unrecognized encoding FvwmTaskBar.zh_CN.po -Universal transformation format 8 bits; UTF-8 fvwm.zh_CN.po -Universal transformation format 8 bits; UTF-8 [/snip] That is, just like the files are in the repo. A complete mess. All the files should be enconded the same, and the charset line in the po files, changed to reflect utf8. Let me know what do you think, and if there is nothing wrong with this, I will do the job and briefly submit a gzipped tarball to avoid problems with the encoding getting messed in the way. -- Jesús Guerrero
