 My locale settings before launching GRASS 7:


 {{{
 $ locale
 LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8
 LANGUAGE=fr_BE:fr
 LC_CTYPE="fr_BE.UTF-8"
 LC_NUMERIC="fr_BE.UTF-8"
 LC_TIME="fr_BE.UTF-8"
 LC_COLLATE="fr_BE.UTF-8"
 LC_MONETARY="fr_BE.UTF-8"
 LC_MESSAGES="fr_BE.UTF-8"
 LC_PAPER="fr_BE.UTF-8"
 LC_NAME="fr_BE.UTF-8"
 LC_ADDRESS="fr_BE.UTF-8"
 LC_TELEPHONE="fr_BE.UTF-8"
 LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_BE.UTF-8"
 LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_BE.UTF-8"
 LC_ALL=
 }}}


 locale settings after launching GRASS 7:


 {{{
 > locale
 LANG=fr_BE
 LANGUAGE=fr_BE
 LC_CTYPE=fr_BE
 LC_NUMERIC=C
 LC_TIME=fr_BE
 LC_COLLATE=fr_BE
 LC_MONETARY=fr_BE
 LC_MESSAGES=fr_BE
 LC_PAPER=fr_BE
 LC_NAME=fr_BE
 LC_ADDRESS=fr_BE
 LC_TELEPHONE=fr_BE
 LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_BE
 LC_IDENTIFICATION=fr_BE
 LC_ALL=
 }}}


 Thus the special characters in translated messages are not displayed
 correctly.

 This is with svn revision 56918.
