Comment:
Yeah, make-messages is unable to deal with message-ids that contain non-
ASCII characters. It's because the way make-messages assembles the
translation files doesn't allow to specify an encoding, and it's not
easily fixed. I'd personally be very thankful for a patch, as I tried and
was unable to fix it.
I'm dealing with this by myself with a German-German translation, i.e. in
the code I use
{{{
_("Mueller")
}}}
and then I have a translation entry that translates "Mueller" to "Müller".
This is *really* nasty. I leave it to the core to decide whether this is a
bug. Please take my word, this is not just a minor inconvenience.
