It's supposed to work, but there do appear to be some problems with
the GUI.

The main issue is that any strings which appear within option
definitions (either in C programs or in scripts) should only use
ASCII; the translations (in .po files) can use any characters which
the .po file's encoding supports (take care to note the encoding of
the .po file; don't insert UTF-8 into an ISO-8859-* .po file or
vice-versa).
