Hallo Vilius Šumskas,

you have written:

Why not?

<http://www.horde.org/horde/docs/?f=po_README.html> says,
w.r.t. translations:
> It is important to set the correct charset for the locale in the Content-Type: header
and w.r.t. help files:
> The help files must be encoded in the language's preferred character set.

Now, what would happen, if you
- set the Conten-Type header in a translation source to UTF-8,
- convert both that translation and the pertinent help file to UTF-8,
- and re-compile the translation?

Best wishes,
   Otto Stolz
