Peter has explained what is going on. It would be ideal for read.spss()
to do the translation to the current locale. This would require knowing
what encoding the SPSS file is using. I think it is always a one-byte
encoding and in your case it is apparently Latin-1, but I don't know if
this is always the case, or how to tell which encoding it uses.
