All our .po have to be in UTF-8 regardless server-side L10N, because a)
we'll use the same .po files on all ploatforms, b) LC_MESSAGES can be
different from LC_CTYPE, and c) the Subversion libraries require UTF-8
anyway and expect the client to convert to the native encoding (this is
what the command-line client and other cmdline tools currently do).
