--- Comment #4 from Andre Miranda <andreldm at xfce.org> ---
I'm running "LANG=uk_UA.koi8u xfce4-screenshooter" and that dialog looks just
right.
What libxfce4ui version do you have installed?
Try to call this help dialog from other apps, such as Thunar, panel or
xfdesktop (settings), what happens?

Because except for very specific use cases, saving some megabytes on a desktop
might not be worth the trouble of breaking some apps. I know they are supposed
to work with whatever encoding is out there, but UTF-8 is so much more easy for
devs...

I can't find any occurrence of that function in xfce4-screenshooter nor
libxfce4ui.

Hopefully we will move to gitlab after 4.14, so this will not be a problem
anymore.

Note to myself: Need to remove "auto-online" from ~/.config/xfce4/help.rc to
get this dialog again.
