Problem loading German settings

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi Richard,

back on my Linux machine I find so problems to run GNUstep with German
as the selected language:

fred@hugo:/usr/src/gnustep/usr-apps/examples/gui> LANG=de_DE
fred@hugo:/usr/src/gnustep/usr-apps/examples/gui> openapp
GSTest/GSTest.app/

-initWithContentsOfFile:] Contents of file
'/usr/GNUstep/System/Libraries/Resources/Languages/German' does not
contain a dictionary

My feeling is that this is caused by some of your latest changes. Now a
property list file must either be ASCII or UTF8, while our language file
are still ISO Latin 1 encoded. Is there any simple method to convert
them? (recode, iconv ?) Or should we use the \U escape sequence here?

I am also wondering, why I am the first to have this problem. Did we
loose all our European users?
