Please use ISO-8859-* where possible. Unless you actually need the
Euro sign, you should probably use ISO-8859-1.

On systems using a modern version of GNU gettext, the encoding won't
matter; gettext will perform any recoding which is necessary. Systems
which don't perform recoding probably won't be using UTF-8 for the
locale's encoding (or for anything, really).

AFAICT, the specific problem here is likely to be that
locale/po/grassmods_de.po claims to be in ISO-8859-15, but it's
actually in UTF-8.

This change occurred in:

	Changed paths:
	   M /grass/trunk/locale/po/grassmods_de.po

	Robert Nuske translations and updated

Except, it's not quite UTF-8. There are some encoding errors, all
relating to the a-umlaut character. Some of them have a line break in
the middle of the two bytes which make up the character, while a few
others are encoded in ISO-8859-1/-15 rather than in UTF-8.

I have fixed the encoding errors (r32214 in SVN trunk), and converted
it back to ISO-8859-15 (r32215 in SVN trunk).
