From 03293128f96bdea3dc0ed02db3dcaba0d1ef7c6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karsten Blees Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2015 16:19:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] gettext: always use UTF-8 on native Windows Git on native Windows exclusively uses UTF-8 for console output (both with mintty and native console windows). Gettext uses setlocale() to determine the output encoding for translated text, however, MSVCRT's setlocale() doesn't support UTF-8. As a result, translated text is encoded in system encoding (GetAPC()), and non-ASCII chars are mangled in console output. Use gettext's bind_textdomain_codeset() to force the encoding to UTF-8 on native Windows. In this developers' setup, HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is apparently defined, but we *really* want to override the locale_charset() here.
