Django is by default configured for utf-8 output, so if your strings are encoded in utf-8, everything should work fine. But that has nothing to do with gettext - with gettext all message IDs (the standard strings used in the source) are in english and are only ascii. utf-8 or other encodings only happen in the .po file. There are special caveats for using non-ascii strings in Python source code - details are in the PEP 0263. And you have to make sure that your strings are encoded in the encoding you define in your settings file (or utf-8 if you didn't define one yourself). bye, Georg
