Comment:
The next test I did on my Windows box was setting the .py file coding to
#-*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-# and changing the special chars for that
encoding. The result was that makemessages compiled a .po file with
Umlauts that could be displayed ok within VIM (:set encoding=iso-8859-1)
and some external po editor (http://www.poedit.net/). As mentioned in the
docs the .po file should be always utf-8, so somewhere in the makemessage
process encoding is not utf-8, but iso-8859-1 and unicode chars get
encoded that way thus the strange looking chars which are iso-8859-1
encoded utf-8 chars.
