[Gambas-user] Warning! Translation files may be corrupted

[Benoit Minisini]

I have just detected that the IDE is randomly corrupting non-ASCII characters 
in the translation files.

The suspect is the "msgmerge" GNU gettext tool, version 0.17 provided with 
Mandriva 2009. This command is used by the IDE each time it opens a 
translation file, for merging old translations with the new strings to be 
translated. At this time, apparently, UTF-8 characters are sometimes lost and 
replaced by another encoding. Strange...

Please check your version, and keep a copy of your translation files, or you 
will have a bad surprise like me!

Regards,
