>>>>>> 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.

>> I think. He want to use those special characters as access keys.

>> I am just questing if that really are a good idea.
>> So he want to change the translation files to define those.
