Encoding problem in templates.

[goyore...@gmail.com]

I have encountered a problem with Spanish tilde into my django
templates.
If I use the {% trans 'something' %} where something contains a Spanish
tilde. I get an error which tells me:

Exception Type: UnicodeDecodeError
Exception Value: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 4:
ordinal not in range(128)
Exception Location: /usr/lib/python2.3/gettext.py in ugettext, line
342

I've checked that the file encoding is Unicode('utf-8') and if I
eliminate the internationalization tag I don't get the error and the
page renders correctly.

It looks like the problem is at gettext module, how can I avoid this. I
need to translate this site to many languages.

Thanks in advance

Goyo.

I have reopened the ticket #1945 because I´m experiencing a similar problem
(es_AR here), but now I´m seeing that has been reported before. See
tickets #1715 and #170 (the comment previous to the last one of this ticket
seems to be the solution to the problem).
