Well, I must say I like to leave info/warning/error messages as they are since
most developers won't get along with german gcc error outputs :)
But often enough I run into situations where special chars are interpreted
wrong or utf8 is mistreated as iso8859 and turns into two garbled chars.
rigth now for example Opera/Gnome did this: I saved a file and gedit won't
list it in the open dialog since the encoding was wrong. 
Haven't spotted the culprit yet, Opera or Gnome, but let's say it's Gnome
which can't read utf8 - where do I change that?!
