Hello John,

No problem everyone is invited to ask or send his comments here. It isnt
only just the space/size of additional files. There are sometimes things
to do so that non-English characters can be handled correctly. I am not
really sure with that things.

If the Page default encoding will be changed to UTF-8, then i ask my self
how the webGUI or other tools should work with non-English characters?
For example what happens if japanese or chinese characters are in use?

I am not sure but if the tools or software thats in use cant work with
"unknown" characters or need a recompiled version who wants to do that?

I have no problems if m0n0wall get multi-language support but i guess
this will bring a lot of additional work.

Best regards,
Stefan Frank
