For man it is simplier to edit man.conf and put "iconv -f utf8 -t <locale-cp>" call into it. So I think man in utf8 is enough. Don't know about po...
Thanks for the tip! So, man issue is solved. :-) BTW, can you please comment on this bug: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/4664 ? I think it can be closed with your tip, right?
Very nice. Could someone with the know-how of this writeup a wiki page (or add to an existing one) related to locales and utf8?
The other thing is to perhaps bring this over to the arch ML and see if you can get anything rebuilt as necessary for full UTF-8 compatibility. -Dan
