umlauts garbled up

[Eildert Groeneveld]

Hello Folks

my umlauts (these funny German characters like äöü) are all f..cked up in the 
current svn:
 Dank fÌrs
Setting LANG or LC_ALL does not have an effect. It seems that the problem is 
in fact in the data file. After unzipping there are lines like

 <slot:value type="string">Vielen Dank fÌrs Glas</slot:value>

changing the encoding on the editor also does not have an effect. So it seems 
that the - originally correct - encoding was wrongly encoded at some point.
I can probably just use vi to fix this back to ü or whatever. But is this a 
problem that needs further attention?

greetings
