Description

From Ralf post:

A similar problem occurs when I download the German Prompts.tgz. There seems to be a problem with the encoding. When I started to submit prompts to VoxForge, I didn't care about UTF-8. Instead, I submitted in ANSI (which probably means Windows-1252). Is it possible to fix this problem?

my reply:

That is something that I noticed a while ago too... The prompt files in the individual submissions are correct, it is just when the prompt files were being added to the master_prompt files, the script was not using the correct encoding (I was not paying much attention to encoding back then either... :) ). I fixed this problem a few months ago, but the prompts that were added to the master prompts files prior to the fix, need to be corrected. It's on the todo list.
