David, this is a encoding issue that affects all scripts that have characters 
other than the typical English characters.
Therefore, it should affect Spanish and German if a message has ñ or ü 
respectively. In the UTF-8 encoding, common Latin characters such as those 
found in English are stored in the same way as US-ASCII, so they are shown just 
fine. If Ubiquity is not prepared to read UTF-8 text, then it shows ??? for any 
non-US-ASCII character.

I cloned the source code of Ubiquity in an attempt to figure out what's going 
wrong.
I do not understand where Ubiquity locates and opens those xkeyboard-config.mo 
files with the translations.
The problem should be at that part of the code, and most probably this is a 
one-line fix.
