Summary0000610: use utf-8 as encoding

TagsNo tags attached.

Yeah using utf8 everywhere would be nice. Translingo is using utf8 as encoding that could cause some issues when saving strings with non-ascii chars

Using UTF-8 could cause trouble with legacy data in the database. So implementing it in the front end code is not enough. A database conversion script must be implemented too. Maybe a dump and restore with a recode in between will work ... needs testing though.
