gnome-applets-locations broken on l10n-status

[Roozbeh Pournader <roozbeh farsiweb info>]

All (?) PO and POT files for gnome-applets-locations are broken on
l10n-status.gnome-org it seems. I don't know the exact reason, but
apparently, the POT files provided on the website are not in UTF-8 but
in ISO-8859-1/15/something (while their headers claim the file is in
UTF-8).

(The first offending thing seems to be Chambéry). This results in weird
behavior in msgmerge, which has resulted in breaking all (?) non-ASCII
PO files also.

I am investigating this, but would someone who knows more about intltool
and stuff take a look? Locations.xml.in looks to be valid UTF-8 and XML
(as XML doesn't require an encoding declaration if the file is in
UTF-8).
