So it looks like the string is in UTF-8. In this case, you should make
sure everything is working in UTF-8. Use request.setEncoding("UTF-8") in
your action/generator/XSP, delete any encoding attribute from the XML
prolog in XML files (UTF-8 is the default) and see if it makes any
difference.
I have no other ideas, but to confirm you that i18n is a PITA ;-)
