This repository contains translation files that are part of, or associated
to, the FreeDOS operating system.

All files here are encoded in UTF-8 to make it easier to edit them. This is
NOT the encoding expected by FreeDOS. Before using translation files in a
FreeDOS installation, you will need to convert them to the appropriate
codepage. The expected codepage is usually noted in the translation file's
header.

To perform the conversion, you can use the utf8tocp tool (it's available for
DOS as well): http://sourceforge.net/projects/utf8tocp/
There is a Linux script in the root directory of this repository that can help
converting all files to proper encodings in one go: compile.sh. You do need to
have utf8tocp available somewhere in your PATH to use it.
