Hello, With a latin1 master document, I'm using the following commands: po4a-gettextize -f man -m test.1 -M ISO-8859-1 -p test.po po4a-translate -f man -m test.1 -M ISO-8859-1 -p test.po -l test.fr -k 0 The generated test.po is OK The generated test.fr is not OK. If I translate the non ascii string with only ascii char, the same non valid string is output. I could also reproduce this with 0.19. I also tried with various -L encoding, without success. With an UTF-8 master document (and changing the -M option to UTF-8), I have the same issues, but with 0.19, the output string is OK if it is translated in the PO (whether or not the translated string contain non any ascii char). I may have just messed up something. Can somebody try it? (I did verify the master document encoding, this time;) TIA, -- Nekral
