## What went wrong
If I use for instance the LanguageTool 'linter' on a plain-text file
```
This is a test..
```
then the double trailing dot is correctly highlighted as error location. As soon as I replace 'a' with 'ä', the hightlighting of '..' shifts by one position to the left. This marking of 't.' is not corrected with the next linter run, and *immeditiately* goes right if I replace the 'ä' with command 'r a'.
Perhaps, the non-ASCII character 'ä' breaks the one-to-one relation between character and byte offsets? As can be seen in the ALEInfo below, LanguageTool correctly reports the error location both for 'a' and 'ä'.
This problem appears whenever a non-ASCII character is present on the same text line at a place before the error highlighting. It disturbs in languages that commonly use such characters, in my case German.
Many thanks for this otherwise fantastic framework!
### :ALEInfo
```
Current Filetype: text
Available Linters: ['alex', 'languagetool', 'proselint', 'redpen', 'textlint',
'vale', 'writegood']
Linter Aliases:
'writegood' -> ['write-good']
Enabled Linters: ['languagetool']
Suggested Fixers:
'remove_trailing_lines' - Remove all blank lines at the end of a file.
'textlint' - Fix text files with textlint --fix
'trim_whitespace' - Remove all trailing whitespace characters at the end of e
very line.
