Because this is the charset that the output should have. It has nothing to
do with your system's charset.

This is totally wrong, out of the blue and breaks the whole charset support
in Horde.

The meaning of this parameter is that we want to be able to get the charset
that the *system* actually uses, independent from what *we* use.
This has nothing to do with translations at all.
