This is nonsense and we have been through this again and again on the
list; UT_UTF8String can only represent utf8 strings, it cannot represent
generic 8-bit strings.

Well, not all platforms use utf8 internally and it seems make more sense
to leave the string in AW locale and have the platform code *that
requires* utf8 to do the conversion than to do abi-locale -> utf8 ->
abi-locale on Windows. What is worse, your commit reintroduced this bug,
because the m_pDocLanguage is not a utf8 string, but a string in AW
locale; this is not hard to fix, but I do not have the time.
