i use mysql for many years, when they changed from latin1 to utf-8
(between mysql 3 to 4 or 4 to 5) i had many problems since mysqldump
start using utf-8, after many time i get the information how stuff
works and today i know how to use it
i think that untranslated (unsigned char (binary)) is better than
(character (text)) since owfs make comunication over a binary protocol
(onewire) and over a binary lcd protocol
translation could be implemented before owfs
for example let´s think about a owserver - owserver - owserver -
onewire - display layout
if we put the first owserver to use translations and second to use
other translation and third.... we will get really crazy
i think that a tranlation on owclient could be really easier to implement
