On both freedos 1.3 rc1 and rc2 the italian translation for mem is converted to utf8 and lost accented words.
As the translations wasn't changed from freedos 1.1 the mem.it file can be reverted to the older one
It looks like Andrew Bird fixed the encoding issue, please see https://github.com/shidel/fd-nls/commits/master/mem/nls/mem.it.UTF-8. The garbled encoding goes back all the way to freedoslocal.sf.net but was fixed like I said above and switching to Italian in the latest test version of FreeDOS displays accented words just fine as shown in the attached screenshot.
Let's hope an Italian speaker will complete the translation.
@jerome: This is a quick and dirty italian translation made by AI. Please check. A first look at it showed me that it seems to be ok. Compare it with the screenshot above.
The actual version is at: https://github.com/shidel/fd-nls/blob/master/mem/nls/mem.it and shows a lot of FIXME text.
So this ticket is still open.
