Thanks for the suggestion. However, not really appropriate as it only involved single characters in the middle of a long translation. However, in another terminal it got displayed slightly differently and I saw the following (this is a unicode cut/pasting, hopefully it works): 打印机管理(<E4>\n <BE><8B>如CUPS)和 It's a multibyte UTF-8 charater split by a newline :(.

Well, all these problems are from suggestions submitted february 2009, so it's likely it's been fixed already. If it's a rosetta thing it would be nice to work out what, for possible future compatability issues... If they're using a particular URL or something.
