11 Not sure why you want to wait longer. It only gets worse. The German
12 description in app-admin/metadata.xml needs an "iconv -f utf8 -t latin1"
13 to get it fixed (automatically doable), but the Spanish one needs this
14 treatment twice already... These numbers will only keep growing. Of
15 course since it's you who's going to be doing it, it's your call to do
16 it the way that you find to be the most convenient.
