[sword-devel] Fwd: Re: bibletime stuff

[Joachim Ansorg]

I havn't written the code :) It was Nikolay, a new coder in the BibleTime 
team. He's really a help for me!
Adding the Encoding line would be cool. The best would be to offer two file 
for one language, one in UTF8 and on e (if possible) in the normal encoding 
like we have it now.
If an appliocation uses ICU it sould use the UTF8 files, because they're much 
better.
