 They don't seem to work:

 and, even worse:

 I'm also not sure whether using u' strings is the solution, nor how
 portable this is between Python 2 and 3. Anna should probably have a look
 at this as she has quite some experience with the encoding issues...


 >I am not able to convince my GRASS installation to use the German locale
 that i have set, so its a kind of dry test.

 You can use the GUI: Settings->Preferences->Appearance->Language settings.

 However: looking at grasslibs_de.po I have the feeling that most temporal
 lib strings have not been translated to German, yet. Maybe these strings
 have only recently been translated to French, making the errors appear now
 ?
