Bug Description

If you try to open the standard verb file in kverbos, it fails with a error.

Im quite sure this is because kverbos tries to open the file in unicode, but actualy it is in iso 8859-15.
you can try it yourself with this file from the kverbos homepage:

i just found a workaround.

download the file that i linked.
Open it with kate in iso 8859-15
save the file, but this time in utf-8

open this file with kverbos

Actually, the file should be in utf-8. The above file is a german translation. I used gedit to convert the english version on my drive.

In the kubuntu machine I am trying it doesnt work. I open it as 8859-15, save with kate as UTF-8, everything seems OK, after it I try to open with kverbos and it does not work as always. But I noticed it change something in the file and change format again.

It looks like kverbos has been dropped from kdeedu for the kde4 packages.

It therefore doesn't appear in intrepid, the current development version.
