It is because the files are in US-ASCII and not in UTF-8.
I have to admit it has been a pain for me having to type "@'a" instead of
just "à" or "@ " for a non breakable space like in the old times of LaTeX
(or even lyrics in LilyPond 1.3.84).


Do you mean they _have to_ be ASCII? It looks weird... why not using UTF-8?

The italian file is UTF-8, for example.
Why french and german are ASCII?

As well as Norwegian, Portuguese (European and Brazilian), Spanish, which makes 6 out of 10 available languages.

I don't have any idea about this. Might be worth asking Patrice Dumas why only certain files are US-ASCII and other UTF-8, even if both languages do contain accented characters or ligatures.

Cheers,
Jean-Charles
