I've found out that this is the normal way of doing things using
gettext.

By the way: Ondrej Jombik has some changes that we'll incorporate
before the release, so the release will probably not happen tomorrow
after all.

The index.php file should already do this properly by sending the
right header:

  header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=3D' . $text->get_charset());

This makes the output contain all sorts of accents.

You mean in the drop-down list? That's right - there's no accents in
that, but that's mostly because the city names doesn't have any
accents in stations.csv.

I'm not sure if we want characters in stations.csv that doesn't belong
to ISO-8859-1. The thing is: what should the browser do, when it's
displaying text in Danish (using ISO-8859-1) but sees a Hungarian city
with characters from ISO-8859-2?

I've played a little with this before, but here goes again: could we
just use Unicode (UTF-8?) for all files instead of this mess with
different encodings for different files?

I don't have any experience with this, but from what I've heard, then
Unicode is supposed to solve these problems.
