Title:
  apt-add-repository fails to add key for PPA with non-ASCII name

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If the terminal is not configured for a UTF-8 locale, the following
  command fails:

      # sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cz.nic-labs/bird
       The BIRD Internet Routing Daemon PPA (by upstream & .deb maintainer)
       More info: https://launchpad.net/~cz.nic-labs/+archive/ubuntu/bird

      'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 86: ordinal not in 
range(128)

  I'd expect it to work, but fail to display the characters that aren't
  supported.

  While I have a workaround, which is to switch locale, the context is that I'm 
trying to instruct the users of my application on how to install the above PPA 
and that's a lot more complicated if I have to explain to them how to check the 
locale and install a UTF-8 version of their locale and switch to it.
