I don't like web interfaces; thus let's discuss the problem on the ML.

Oh it is able to do that. But by default unix software will use the
ISO Latin-1 encoding. If you want stuff to work with UTF-8 output,
maybe you can setup your environment vars to indicate so. But I
never tried that.
So the problem is not the decoding of .mo files, but rather that
output is done in ISO Latin 1, while your Terminal.app is
configured to interpret the chars as UTF8. To avoid this, you can
reconfigure your terminal to use ISO Latin 1, or you can try to
setup the environment to indicate to gettext that it should output
UTF8

Yes, but I believe this ought to work out of the box (as it does on
GNU/Linux systems). Darwin/Fink must learn to propagate environment
variables or something. You cannot expect the user will setup obscure
variables esp. since documentation concering this issue on Darwin is
hard to be found.
BTW, I tried someting along these lines without success:
$ bash
$ LANG=de_DE gettext --help
$ LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1 gettext --help
I also played with LC_ALL and LANGUAGE, but no cake.
I also noticed the 'less' fails to display umlauts properly; 'more'
works.
