  * summary:  proj.4 errors garbled => QGIS exceptions does not support
              unicode

Comment:

 Changing bug description back to original, as proj.4 currently does not
 support localized error messages. This is (almost) pure QGIS issue.

 Compiled current QGIS trunk (r12612) without any CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE setting
 with Qt 4.6.0. QGIS displays pop-up with text and after clicking OK, it's
 impossible to close QGIS window (only with xkill):

 {{{
 Neveiksmīgs forward transformēšana no
 (10075.3, 112109)
 ar kļūdu: latitude or longitude exceeded limits
 }}}
 String should read (still it's grammatically incorrect due to how this
 string is represented to translators and hardcoded "forward" word):
 {{{
 Neveiksmīgs forward transformēšana ...
 }}}

 IMHO problem lies here:
 http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/browser/trunk/qgis/src/core/qgsexception.h#L54
 Conversion between QString and std::string is done via fromAscii() (if I
 understood QString manual correctly).
