Hi! (Sorry for the late reply)

I'm currently not up to date with the state of the utf8 extension.
AFAIK, Alex "un-modularized" it (so the import-statements should
indeed not be needed anymore). Is "string-translate" provided
by utf8-srfi-13? It's not a srfi-13 routine, it belongs to the core
libraries. It could be possible that the old version of utf8 hooked
deeper into library code to make string-translate work, and that
the new one doesn't, but I can't really say.
