Not that I can find. The only way to prevent recoding would be to generate
UTF-8 catalogues and set the output characterset to UTF-8 using the
bind_textdomain_codeset() call (which Justin says is unavailable on
Solaris).

In the Solaris 9 manpage
(http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/817-0662/6mger1dl8?a=view) I read that there is
a function called bind_textdomain_codeset() at least on version 9; whether
it is available on earlier versions I can't tell. I guess Justin was
referring to older versions of Solaris though. 

bye,

Erik.

Some Googling helped out there eventually. It's been added to Solaris 8 in a
patch. (See
