OK, we started our translation. Which character-encoding do you want? I think utf8 should be best choice because we could use it for every language.
Yes, I'd prefer UTF-8. In situations such as the one Roman mentions, perhaps UTF-8 is not the best then, and we can convert later.
UTF-8 is OK. I only asked if there is a possibility to have two man and po versions for some languages - UTF-8 and non-UTF-8. I think for man pages it is possible by putting them in corresponding /usr/man dirs (for example there are ru, ru.KOI8-R and ru.UTF-8 in /usr/man), the same can be done for .mo files, I think. Of course all this is quite odd. I would like all other encodings to disappear ASAP. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
