Arr.... well, dear Mr. Sobolev:

I believe this is just the wrong solution.

msgfmt-new can handle UTF-8 .po, but cant' convert it into big5 .po.
wget links against legacy gettext libraries, which simply lets garbage
in and out, doesnt' know what it produces.

I personally perfer to use LC_MESSAGES=C to get rid of these anonying
problems, thus I didn't catch this bug. I apologize that I report this
bug 2 months late.

I sincerely suggest that, if you're not a CJK people, please do not
touch CJK specific hacks without asking "real" CJK people whathell.

I really dont want to say "back it out", but please at least pass me
your better solution if you have one. I am the only one who could read
these characters.

Thanks,
Clive
