Yes I think that second idea would be a good solution.

It would be great if this can be done for receiving and sending. I can help
with any tests.  It would be great if one can tell gnokii as a parameter
which language to use for sending (which might not be the same as the
system language).  For smsd at least a global parameter for all sent
messages, if adding a column for that on the outbox table is too complex.
For my current needs just a global parameter will do.

My intention with this is to be able to pack the most characters as
possible in each sms while still keeping the special characters.

Thanks.
