TBH, my idea of how this should go was to *not* ship any built-in
translations, or indeed any translation file at all (so I didn't
like your moving some existing hacks into that file). If we
approach it like that, then individual users who hit this problem
are responsible for creating their own translation file, which
will automatically use whatever is the locally-appropriate
encoding. Sure, it's less transparent for affected users, but
it will work for them which other approaches might not; and
evidence so far is that there's not a huge number of affected
users.
