If they have no other tools, recode handles this. So you check out,
use recode UTF-8..latin1 myfile.po, edit it in the editor of your
choice,
use recode latin1..UTF-8 myfile.po and commit. 

We can of course also write a little shell script that does that 
automaticly for you, so you don't need to bother.

Greetings, Stephan
