Re: Unicode typography in translations

[Ask Hjorth Larsen <asklarsen gmail com>]

Hi

Thanks for all the useful info.  I am very much in favour of using
unicode as much as possible.  But what happens if someone uses a
different locale encoding?  For example Danish is typically used with
UTF8 (LANGUAGE=da_DK.UTF-8), but can also be used with ISO-8859-1.
ISO-8859-1 does not have the ellipsis.  Will it work anyway, provided
the po-file specifies UTF-8 as its own encoding?

Best regards
Ask
