If they are using their native encoding then I may agree with you.
However, this parameter really describes the encoding of the input file;
which may or may not be in the native format.
Maybe, if we kept a simple normal encoding for the supported languages, we
could look up the default encoding based on the specified language. But,
we would have to be careful not to overwrite the encoding they may be
specifying on the command line for this.

The model trained OK for me. I only had the small sample set with the
source to test with.

Usually its a good idea to use the platform default encoding as default.
Did the training of a sentence model worded for you ? We now also have an
evaluator to measure the performance of the sentence detector, in case
there are no test data we have built-in support for cross validation.

Thanks for taking.
If you want to make the -lang and -encoding optional again, you only have
to change the null assigment at the top of the main routine. I didn't want
to biasly pick "en" and "US-ASCII" as the defaults.

Thanks, for the patch. Its applied now.
