I tested and it worked. I had only to change line 1810 of conjugue-*
to fix the name of the verbos-* files. But it doesn't work if I simply
export my locale as:
$ export LC_ALL=pt_BR
$ export LANG=pt_BR
I configured my system to have en_US.UTF-8 as default locale and added
pt_BR.UTF-8 and pt_BR.ISO-8859-1 as other available locales. I think
that when I don't specify the charset encoding it defaults to UTF-8,
and not to ISO-8859-1, as assumed by the wrapper script. One possible
solution would be do not assume any default charset and make the
script exit if the encoding wasn't found in the locale string. In this
case, the output wold be a help message (in Portuguese and English)
teaching how to make an unambiguous specification of the locale. This
is just a suggestion. It certainly would be better if the script could
always discover what's the correct encoding.
