<listitem><para>The <literal>unac_except_trans</literal> parameter
should be encoded in UTF-8. If your system locale is not UTF-8, and
you need to also specify non-ascii file paths, this poses a
difficulty because common text editors cannot handle multiple
encodings in a single file. In this relatively unlikely case, you
can edit the configuration file as two separate text files with
appropriate encodings, and concatenate them to create the complete
configuration.</para>
