You seem to have sent two copies of the UTF-8-encoded version.
According to the Chinese .wmlrc, the character set used for the
Chinese translation is Big5. I tried to convert the file directly,
which failed:
$ iconv -f UTF-8 -t BIG5 lenny-announcement.zh_CN.wml.utf8
<define-tag pagetitle>Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 iconv: illegal input sequence at position 43
I was able to convert it by going through GB2312, however:
$ iconv -f UTF-8 -t GB2312 lenny-announcement.zh_CN.wml.utf8 | iconv -f GB2312 -t BIG5
...
I committed this version. Would you please inspect the results and
let me know if there are problems?
