catalog's encoding.  If the
<VAR>command</VAR> wants input in a particular encoding, you can in a first step
convert the translation catalog to that encoding using the <SAMP>`msgconv&acute;</SAMP>
program, before invoking <SAMP>`msgexec&acute;</SAMP>.  If the <VAR>command</VAR> wants input
in the locale's encoding, but you want to avoid the locale's encoding, then
you can first convert the translation catalog to UTF-8 using the
<SAMP>`msgconv&acute;</SAMP> program and then make <SAMP>`msgexec&acute;</SAMP>
