Great, thanks!

That is ok. If you send us the file or tell me where to pull it from I will 
merge it. Currently the ISO-8859-1 variant is the "official" version.

Yes, on the next debian version we have nsis-3 and then we can use UTF-8. 
Gpg4win releases are always compiled on debian stable, which currently does 
not have the Unicode version of NSIS. That is why I created a branch for me 
as I'm already on the next debian version. ;-) Sorry for the confusion.

I have a script to convert all the local translation files to UTF-8. So If you 
update the ISO-8859-1 version I can just convert it to UTF-8.

When debian buster is released we will switch fully to UTF-8. All our other 
translations use UTF-8 already.


Thanks for contributing!
Best Regards,
Andre
