AW: [poedit-users] po files encoding?

Hi,

I am using poedit with (a german) windows xp, while the locales get used
with linux and just finished a translation to french (did not translate by
myselfe, instead got the texts in a word document. I had absolutely no
problems (except that i could not enter numbers directly, but this has been
already filed as a bug), I could enter the text, I could save the .po/.mo,
and the .mo is working perfectly in the production environment. Just to let
you know, it worked for me - with windows.

Betreff: [poedit-users] po files encoding?

Hi,

I'm an Austrian writer living in Montpezat (South France), and a Linux user
(Slackware 10.2). 

I want to translate the Sweep Audio Editor into french. I gave it a try
(just to see how it works) first with my favourite text editor (VIM), then
with POEdit. There seems to be an encoding issue. When there are french
characters in the text, the character and all subsequent text are lost.

1) after unzipping the source archive, po files in the po/ archive are ASCII
encoded. 

2) My standard Slackware locale is 8859-1. 

3) I tried to edit the fr.po file and save it in utf-8 encoding. I can
compile it OK, but when I run the program (from a terminal, to see error
messages), I get something like: Pango warning ** invalid utf-8 string
passed ....

My Linux experience (5 years so far, all kinds of distros, pure Slackware
for the last two years) tells me that character and encoding issues are the
worst.

Any suggestions? I'm clueless.
