Ideally, providing a translation file should be all you have to do. I'm
not sure why the emails are not coming through correctly. Maybe it needs
to have a different content transfer encoding? I'm also not sure why the
invite new members would generate a unicode error. If you provide a
traceback, we may be able to fix it.

I believe that mailboxer has the concept of changing the words subscribe
and unsubscribe, but I think that listen has some hard coded regular
expressions with the words subscribe/unsubscrbe in it. So I doubt that
there will be an easy way for to get this functionality.

Unfortunately, I don't think i18n is very high on the priority list for
most of us right now that maintain listen, but we'd certainly welcome
patches that make listen more i18n friendly.
