One more addition -- just thinking aloud about what would happen if we switched to UTF-8 properties:
- the advantage would be that editing files locally becomes easier.
- the tool would need to be rewritten to initially produce UTF-8 files, and to cope with UTF-8 in translated files. (rewriting into ISO-8859-1 if necessary)
- most importantly though: What would happen to *already existing* translations at transifex? We have steady progress for quite a few languages there, and I guess translators will be pissed off in case everything suddenly goes back to zero. This is the worst-case scenario, and I hope it wouldn't happen, but I'm not sure how to properly test this.
