Re: [i18n-prog] Unicode to ANSI conversion

You would need to convert if you have to interface with some object that requires a non Unicode encoding. For example, your output is sent to a terminal or terminal emulator. If you have complete control of the environment - for example a windows application then stay in the appropriate Unicode encoding.
