  Hi all,

  I am Brazilian, then interested part. ;

  Those strange characters you see are typical of LATIN-1 (ISO8859-1)
encoded text viewed in UTF-8 environment.  In order to see those
correctly you must:

- Convert your environment to ISO8859-1.

or

- Convert that the text to UTF-8.


  The conversion to UTF-8 in Linux environment can be none with the
command:

$ iconv -f iso8859-1 -t utf8 txt_pt_BR-iso.ts > txt_pt_BR-utf.ts

  Do not forget to change the encoding in the XML tag at the start of
file.
