p4convert documentation needs to provide a "scary message index" with a description of what the message means, and how it effects the
quality of the conversion.  And what needs to be done because of it...

Many, Many users contact support with these questions.

Lets start with this message:

"Non-unicode server, downgrading file to text"
12222New non-translate mode for high-ascii files.

If the P4_TRANSLATE mode is disabled then text files with high-ascii characters are given the new type RAW-TEXT. Raw types are not translated and the content is used as-is. (exception UTF16/32)

The default translation configuration is enabled:

   com.p4convert.p4.translate=true

The com.p4convert.p4.translate=false mode is intended for use with non-unicode Perforce servers in a Windows only client environment.
