These basically should work with the patch I just posted.

But currently we don't have message catalogs for UTF-8.
So, either
1. provide message catalogs by UTF-8.
or
2. provide automatic code conversion from existing message catalogs
  to different codesets like UTF-8.
is needed.

I guess 2 may be better.
