Package: gettext
Version: 0.18.1.1-1
Severity: minor
Using this "extract" from /usr/share/xml/iso-codes/iso_3166.xml
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
name=_("Åland Islands")
name=_("Côte d'Ivoire")
and the command line
$ xgettext --language=Python --omit-header --output=/dev/null utf8.py
leads to the following warnings:
utf8.py:2: warning: The following msgid contains non-ASCII characters.
This will cause problems to translators who use a
character encoding
different from yours. Consider using a pure ASCII
msgid instead.
Åland Islands
utf8.py:2: invalid multibyte sequence
utf8.py:2: invalid multibyte sequence

utf8.py:3: warning: The following msgid contains non-ASCII characters.

Because UTF-8 is the default and recommended encoding in
Debian (and, as far as I know, in PO files), it would be
nice to accept it without warning.
Btw. there is a similar bug report at
