Description

Hi there!

We have localized git, which store translations to languages , therefore ÖÄÕÜ etc ISO-8859-1 compliant files seem to be excluded as "Invalid UTF-8". How to overcome this problem, unfortunately i have no experience with GO to help with PR right now. Help is appreciated. for example: Lähme põõsasse sööma
