I've been it_IT.UTF-8 for quite a while with no problems. And I also
get to be able to write the name of my girlfriend, which Latin1 cannot
encode, together with accented Italian words, which BIG5 cannot encode.
Hmmmm... Silly me thought that Italian was the only Latin language
which used no diacritics. Which kind of accents does it have?
Even en_GB has diacritics.
Hopefully all this encoding problems disappear with the growing
popularity of UNICODE/UTF-8.
E.g. besides German, Hungarian, Slowenian und Croation are official
languages here in Austria, which must be supported through local
government. Choosing Latin1 is a common mistake, 'Eastern Latin' would
be the better choice. Besides it would IMHO be more political correct to
write the names of all the Polish, Balkan, French, Eastern, Scandinavian
and Latinos living here with original diacritics.
