Well, whatever you decide, please keep libalpm's and pacman's po in sync (now
one of them is utf8, one of them is latin2).
I leave the decision to you, but personally I (the translator;-) still vote to

Note: I didn't _changed_ the encoding, it was in iso8859-2, when I started to
work on vmiklos's translation.
