Re: DL Error : File not UTF8

[Rafael Fontenelle <rafaelff gnome org>]

Hello Matej and Phillip,

The culprit for this issue should have been fixed already. Personally,
I don't see this issue anymore in my translation actions.

I suggest that you try re-uploading the PO file that is presenting
this encoding error in order to work around the encoding issue already
fixed.

If the problem persists, I suggest the following:
- run `file <your-po-filename>` locally, to make sure the file is UTF-8
- file an issue in Damned Lies issue tracker with more information
(e.g. link to page in damned lies with the issue)

Good luck!

Best regards,
Rafael Fontenelle
