Some languages don't work well with UTF-8 po files (fx. danish and
norvegian they have some special 'åæø' chars there looks wrong if the po
file is not in iso-8859-1 )
Ermmm, no. ISO-8859-1 is a subset of UTF-8.
Some ways yes, in others no. ISO-8859-1 is not a subset of UTF-8, the
encoding for e.g. øæåØÆÅ
is different in ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8. However all chars in ISO-8859-1
are available in UTF-8 and much
more of course. ascii however is true subset of UTF-8, the encoding is
identical for the all ascii chars.
That's reason people in the US etc are using UTF-8, while folks in
europe (which needs really unicode) still are using
ISO-8859-1. Not funny at all...
And I can *guarantee* that
those languages are perfectly fine with UTF-8 po files... we've been
mandating UTF-8 po files for many years now with anaconda and other
elvis/fedora hosted things
In a perfect world...
