[Bug-gnubg] utf-8 coding in the Icelandic translation

[Hlynur Sigurgíslason]

Hi.
I just got the new gnubg language package of the internet and I am afraid 
the coding of the is.po file got quite scrambled.  The thing is it has to 
be saved in utf-8 coding (in Emacs: Ctrl-x [RET] f [RET] utf-8).  Any 
changes to the file without preserving the coding will change the special 
Icelandic letters into gibberish.  This is strange since all the Icelandic 
letters are in the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character list.  I don't know why 
this is, but if I don't use utf-8 coding, no menu items containing 
Icelandic letters are displayed.

If there is any way around this I would like to know, since this causes 
trouble for anyone interested in adding to the translation.

When I translate I write into a file which is Latin-1 coded, then I write 
the file to is.po, change the coding to utf-8, and save.  Then I create 
the gnubg.mo file as usually.  I use Emacs on win9x.

Best regards,

                        Hlynur Sigurgislason

PS. I've submitted a new is.po file.
