file command, ASCII text in messages... [question]

[Shinjo Park]

Hi,

UTF-8 is backwards compatible with ASCII, therefore a valid ASCII document is 
also a valid UTF-8 document. If the po file contains only Basic Latin 
characters then the file is not only ASCII text but also UTF-8 text. Don't get 
misleaded by the file command's output.
