either that or replace the strings with something more-or-less
sensible. For ISO8859-1 languages, this usually won't be a problem
(you'll only lose a few chars here and there), but I can see that it
will be unuseable with Japanese (for instance). However, most of our
users will be on UTF8-capable screens, and to a certain extent I
believe that those who aren't are so advanced that English won't pose
a problem to them.
Or, if you have a better idea, I'm all ears.
