#7 UTF8 input for DICT dictionaries

[Lev A. Melnikovsky]

One can set the "UTF8 encoding" flag for the DICT
dictionary and it works fine when displaying
international characters. Unfortunately it does not,
when I want to enter international characters. I
supposed that the DICT query should also be UTF-encoded
before submitting, right?

P.S. I'm using 1.1pre12 under Linux
P.P.S. Sorry, can't find a button to "assign to rvm"...

I think the attached patch fixes it.

Thanx. Yes, it does solve the problem with the QT version
(this is the only GUI I've tested here). Unfortunately this
doesn't help with the console version. Is it possible to
take the LANG (or whatever appropriate) environment variable
into account and use it as an input encoding?
P.S. Another minor problem, I don't know if this has to do
something with the wordtrans itself. The window (again, I'm
talking about the QT GUI) caption does not show correct
8-bit symbols. I'm using fvwm2, in case this matters.

I cannot reproduce. The console version works for me too.
The text is converted to UTF-8 correctly.

Which locale are you using? or even which dictionary are
you trying to use?

Maybe if I can reproduce the problem...

The problem with fvwm2 seems to be a bad configuration of
its fonts.
