Please test it, I don't know what wxWidgets makes from it.
Currently, I'm not even sure that we'd display a translated version
correctly, pleast test that before spending useless effort.

Use the charset that fits your needs best (but use the same encoding
throughout that directory, some files may be assembled to a single one
at runtime). If it displays correctly in any standard browser, it should

If it displays correctly, use what you like best.
