Follow-up Comment #17, task #1506 (project savane):
Hi,
I'll try to answer some of the comments below.
> BTW, have original database file (in sql/mysql) have been

It doesn't seem to be necessary. I converted them into UTF-8 and diff'ed the
resulting files against the repository copies. There were no differences. I
guess everything in the files is ASCII anyway.

That's because I assumed that I can only rely on Perl being installed, since
it's required for Savane anyway. "mysql" on the other hand is a command line
client which is not necessary to run the mysql server. If we can rely on the
client program mysql being installed, that's certainly the way to go. We
should drop the Perl script then.

Does this encoding problem only occur with the success and error messages?
The rest of your screenshot shows correct French accents, it seems.
