Here is the answer I received:

"We took the decision to remove support for non-unicode files in Transifex,
in order to ensure everyone works on the same encoding and avoid confusion
with translators. I'm sure your project has experience handling them, but
they were actually causing all kind of problems with most people, and added
lots of code on our part, which often didn't work perfectly. =)

What you can do is create a separate directory with UTF files and before
your app uses them, convert them to the old ones. It should be a simple
command-line script, if you're willing to use it.

Hope this helps!"
