For the list archives' sake: that link seems wrong.  A more
relevant discussion for translation purposes is

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/292844.1765315339%40sss.pgh.pa.us

in which we discovered that Solaris' gettext implementation
doesn't handle transcoding of .mo files, and that we have to
know at build time which encoding they're in so as to create
appropriate symlinks.  Rather than write code to extract that
information, I proposed that we just institute a policy that
all our .po files should be in UTF-8.  We're apparently nearly
there already so far as actively-maintained .po files go.
