>>> Hi,
>>>
>>> I would like to propose a change of encoding of the Czech translation
>>> from ISO 8859-2 to UTF-8.
>>>
>>> Pros of this change:
>>> - UTF-8 is IMHO currently more widely supported than ISO 8859-2.
>>> - Access keys referring to characters with diacritical marks could be
>>> used, e.g. "_UÚkoly". This is currently not possible and a different
>>> letter must be chosen as an access key, e.g. "Ú_koly", which does not
>>> make much sense.
>>>
>>> Cons:
>>> - All the Czech *.po files would need to be converted to UTF-8 and all
>>> access keys would need to be repaired, which is quite error-prone.
>>> Perhaps a script could help to automate this task.
>>>
>>> What is your opinion of this?
>>
>> I'm not sure what you are talking about. All Horde translations have
>> been UTF-8 encoded for a number a years.

> Hey

> The translation files do use characters like č ý š ř á
> Perhaps it is just a question about changing the keyboard shortcut
> characters
> Thats something you need to do in the *po files and then generate new *.mo
> files.
>
> But is that a good idea.
> If you, or others, use a keyboard with out those special caracters you
> can't use keyboard shortcuts.
> At least not until you change keyboard layout.
> The change would influence a lot of other users.
