Yes.  There is support for automatically converting the encoding in the
gettext library, but it only works if the iconv library is installed on
the local system.  Where this breaks down is the Win32 build; it would
be possible (in theory) to manually add the iconv library to the build
process when building the win32 version, but converting the existing
translations to utf-8 was much less work :-)
