waste someones work - I'm just wanted to help.
There were errors in encodings of text in strings file in officially
released abiword 0.9.6.1 for Windows 9x - menus were in cp1251 and all
dialogs in koi8-r - I've just corrected this and sent to list. This file
was picked up by (I didn't saved original massage of developer, but, if I'm
not wront - it was Pierre Abbat).
Here is my message into list and those strings in attachment...
