new gettext?

[Comment 9 Alexey 2023-06-21 08:16:30 UTC]

Tangentially relevant: https://github.com/ihhub/fheroes2/issues/5735 though that was about some implementations of iconv which failed, which is called before msgfmt. I should check whether it works on musl though.

[Comment 10 Sam James 2023-06-30 11:25:29 UTC]

I asked Bruno Haible about this and he said:
>The error message "msgfmt: present charset "ISO-8859-16" is not a portable encoding name" is clear.
>The PO file should be converted to another encoding, e.g. through msgconv.
>Too few platforms support this encoding, see https://www.haible.de/bruno/charsets/conversion-tables/ISO-8859-16.html

[Comment 11 Alexey 2023-07-03 01:01:21 UTC]

They actually convert it from UTF-8 to these encodings, because original game files' fonts use these encodings.
