 Right now, the GUI will default to UTF-8, and will fail with a hopefully
 informative error message if hibit characters are encountered. The nice
 thing about defaulting to UTF-8 is that any non-UTF-8 hibit character will
 toss an error, which provides an opportunity to fall back and get user
 input.

 When an illegal character is hit, instead of failing, open a dialogue with
 a list of possible alternate encodings for the user to choose (LATIN1,
 LATIN2...) with the option to enter one by hand or to quit the
 translation.
