I have noticed that when I have used the admi18n tool in the Toolbox for creating message .po files I get the following kind of error in the Kid templates:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't encode characters in position 3-4: ordinal not in range(128) However, if I create the message.po file manually, save it with UTF-8 encoding, and use the msgfmt.py script manually (in Windows under python_dist/Tools/i18n) it works fine.
