You are right. translate("Peace") will not work if the source file is 
EBCDIC-encoded and if the translations were made from the ascii-encoded 
english. But with EBCDIC-encoded translations all probably will be OK.

You may even use CP932 for the translations (if the target language 
strings can be encoded into CP932, of course. I mean, you can use CP932 
directly if you want to "translate" your software to some japanese 
slang/argot). Or, you may mix the different encodings in the translation 
file (it is not easy, of course, to work with such files).
