HIGH-PRIORITY TRANSLATION STUFF:
--------------------------------
* Non-ASCII characters (in translations) aren't uppercased when using
'--uppercase'. Example: In the Norwegian Nynorsk ('nn') translation
the top left icon is shown as 'MåLING' instead of 'MÅLING'.
To fix: Convert to wide chars, use 'towupper' instead of 'toupper',
and convert back to UTF-8. 'mbstowcs' and 'wcstombs' unfortunately
depend on on LC_CTYPE, so the encoding they use is locale dependent
(and *not* necessarily UTF-8, which our strings are in). On the other
hand, 'towupper' must be locale-aware for correct conversion (e.g. a
Turkish uppercase 'i' is *not* an 'I').
* Make right-to-left strings not wordwrap with the shortest line at
the top!
