Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Yves Rütschlé (yves-guest) Summary: po4a-update eats characters not in charset without asking Initial Comment: If you translate a PO file into some language using iso8859-1, but forget to precise the charset in the header of the PO file, and don't give the charset to po4a-update either, then po4a-update proceeds to remove all accentuated characters from the file. I am not sure what the best way to handle this would be; presumably, one could do some heuristic ("there are many strange characters in there, probably this isn't ascii") and ask for confirmation that you do actually want to filter out strange characters. Fact is, most of the time you won't want to. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=410622&aid=301...
