I applied 'recode latin1..utf-8 de.po' and then 'msgfmt -o de.mo de.po'
but it does not work for the windows version of gpa.

I then added a conversion (as recommended on http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/):
utf8 = g_convert (string, strlen (string),
		"UTF-8", "CP850",
		NULL, NULL, NULL); 
to simple-gettext.c and it worked quite nice, but
I am not sure whether this is a good idea.
