Yes, it is relevant. Some of the PO file from the Japanese translators at <https://translationproject.org/team/ja.html> still are in EUC-JP encoding. When the corresponding .mo files are made with a GNU gettext version older than 0.22, they are in EUC-JP as well, and when iconv() does not support EUC-JP, gettext() will not be able to process these translations. > Is an > iconv with just the modules in "gconv-modules" considered "working"?
