I've received the texinfo_document.po file from the Translation Project.
While looking at other languages po files to understand what to
translate and what to leave untraslated, I've noticed some strange
characters. Probably because these files are saved as ASCII instead of
UTF-8?
$ file texinfo_document-5.0.fr.po
texinfo_document-5.0.fr.po: GNU gettext message catalogue, ASCII text
For example: Forme Sp@'eciale
http://translationproject.org/domain/texinfo_document.html
It is because the files are in US-ASCII and not in UTF-8.
I have to admit it has been a pain for me having to type "@'a" instead
of just "à" or "@ " for a non breakable space like in the old times of
LaTeX (or even lyrics in LilyPond 1.3.84).
I've got an old macro for Emacs that transformed html<->ASCII when LP's
site was in full html, and should add all those new cases.
Sorry not to be so helpfull,
Jean-Charles
