I know. But the changes are still marginal: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/latin9.html > I would prefer to ask native speakers. This will take ages for all languages. And note that you can override the default language in the document dialog. In this case, I'd prefer to just do the change at once and revert if there are complaints.

I don't see another way to decide which encoding was actually used. And how do you handle the case where a user changed the languages file himself (which several have done to get the euro afaik)? And if he sends me his file then? Will this ever work correctly?
