Because the old versions couldn't handle different charsets at all, and you
happened to use the same charset with your translation as these messages
use.

The workaround would be to allow user-defined default charsets that will be
used if no other charset is set in the message. Currently we (RFC
compliant) imply that all messages that don't specify a charset are
US-ASCII.
