Description: ------------ A method like getCharset() is required to retrieve a translation's charset. One currently has to assume that the translation is using iso-8859-1 as the encoding, but this could quickly change while new translations are added.

And now charsets are even used inconsistently, the German translations (at least for Christian holidays) use ISO-8859-1 in the XML translation, and UTF-8 in the serialized version. I suggest to at least standardize on UTF-8 for all translations in both formats. That would make the requested getCharset() method obsolete.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better. standardized on utf-8 as the file-encoding for all source and intermediate files (.php (code), .xml (additional translations), .ser (serialised data)).
