When a app with warning: "PO file 'seahorse.master.ms.po' is not UTF-8 encoded." shown on vertimus page, does it means that it need to be fixed? If so, how?

Both PO files (seahorse, seahorse-plugins) specify the iso-8859-1 encoding in the header.

To convert to UTF-8, you need to run

msgconv --to-code utf-8 myfilename.po > myfixedfilename.po

Now, you can open the newly created files with gtranslator, etc and start translating.


gtranslator and probably other translation tools do not have an option to convert encodings for PO files.
