Summary: po4a-update eats characters not in charset without asking
Initial Comment:
If you translate a PO file into some language
using iso8859-1, but forget to precise the charset in the
header of the PO file, and don't give the charset to
po4a-update either, then po4a-update proceeds to remove all
accentuated characters from the file.
I am not sure what the best way to handle this would be;
presumably, one could do some heuristic ("there are many
strange characters in there, probably this isn't ascii") and
ask for confirmation that you do actually want to filter out
strange characters. Fact is, most of the time you won't want
to.
