I'm not against UTF-8. It seems to work for me. I remember possible
compatibility problems on OS/2. Are they still current?

Which editor is good for UTF-8 and po files? I like the (x)emacs po
mode,  but it doesn't seem to be able to display utf-8 encoded files
correctly. There are editors like yudit tha can cope with utf-8 but,
well, they are not that nice for po files as eamcs :-)
Any recommendations?

Bye,
