What I wrote. All characters in a line disappear after a non-ASCII char.

You mean there is no way to make it compatible with a normal charset?
Working so, we would need a prepared modconf package. Well, as Adam
allready assumed :(
Who is willing to modify modconf? AFAIK all the eval_* need to be
recoded by a script. But not by me, not much time in the next days.
I see two solution:
- store recoded strings in similar named strings, i.e.
modules_dir_name_UTF8 - and change modconf so it loads the other
strings when LANG matches /.*utf.8/i
or
- spawn a new package, smt. like modconf-utf8.
