Hmm. You mean to use language name in configuration, use current encoding to
define which dictionary should be used (stemmers for the same language are 
different for different encoding) and recode dictionaries file from UTF8 to 
current locale. Did I understand you right?

That's possible to do. But it's incompatible changes and cause some difficulties 
for DBA. If server locale is ISO (or KOI8 or any other) and file is in UTF8 then 
text editor/tools might be confused.
