In my GTK2 program, I use the macro _(str) to translate the strings.
"str" is in english (ASCII), but the translation may be encoded in an

the glib macro _(str) convert the strings to UTF-8 encoding, or I have
to make g_locale_to_utf8(_(str), ...) everytime I have to deal with a
translatable string?
you should ask translators to use UTF-8 encoding, and set it in the
.po file settings.
Have a look at the manpage for bind_textdomain_codeset. In a nutshell,
calling:
bind_textdomain_codeset ("mydomain", "UTF-8")
will cause gettext to convert all translated strings to UTF-8 before
returning them.
