[Gaim-i18n] [Fwd: Re: [Intltool] UTF-8 Conversion Warnings]

[Richard L. <rl...@wi...>]

I'm perfectly okay with ignoring the warnings, but is there any reason
we couldn't just convert the files? I'd rather not do it myself (because
I don't want to break something for the translators), but have the
respective translators do it when they next submit an update.

WARNING: ./po/my_MM.po is not in UTF-8 but iso-8859-1, converting...
WARNING: ./po/tr.po is not in UTF-8 but ISO-8859-9, converting...
WARNING: ./po/nb.po is not in UTF-8 but ISO-8859-1, converting...
WARNING: ./po/en_GB.po is not in UTF-8 but iso-8859-1, converting...
WARNING: ./po/it.po is not in UTF-8 but iso-8859-1, converting...
WARNING: ./po/pl.po is not in UTF-8 but ISO-8859-2, converting...
