How can I tell poedit to ignore non-ASCII text errors?

Question

I am trying to create a poedit for a directory in my PHP project. In some of my files, it crashes on a non-ASCII character.

Since the project is quite large, I was wondering if it is possible to run poedit and ignore these errors, and not ignore every file where they appear.

I am using poedit GUI on Windows. I am trying to localize French content to English and vice versa.

In poEdit, go to the directory and settings and check the properties in source encoding. Try using UTF-8. (the tooltip works for me and is from http://www.netvivs.com/error-xgettext-non-ascii-string-in-poedit/ )
