 i.e. accents are supported in title and comments, but not in source or in
 description.

 This last point, also creates an issue with the default description, which
 contains a translatable string, which in French is translated using
 accents:


 {{{
 #: ../lib/raster/history.c:235
 #, c-format
 msgid "generated by %s"
 msgstr "généré par %s"
 }}}

 Which results in

 "gnr par".

 Is there any way to allow accents in these fields ? If not, then I guess
 the default description string should not be translatable, and the info
 should at least be mentioned in the man page.

 Here are my locale settings:


 {{{
