This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
You can run `import locale` and `locale.getpreferredencoding()` from python3 to see the default encoding (which appears to be 'ascii' in your case instead of 'UTF-8'). `echo $LANG` from the command line (which returns 'en_US.UTF-8' for me) may also be instructive.
In any case, I've updated that build script to use UTF-8 explicitly when reading translator files, so you can pull again and try that (though it's possible there will be additional issues).
