Yes but encoded twice, since I can see accentuated letters just fine at the top of the file.
But you're right, this isn't the reason.

I see.

OK I debugged it and it's a bug in msgfmt.
msgfmt (GNU gettext-tools) 0.14.1 produces a wrong .mo file
msgfmt (GNU gettext) 0.10.35 (from gettext-kde on ftp.kde.org) produces a working .mo file

More precisely, msgfmt-0.14.x produces a wrong hashtable (1,0,2,0,3,4,5)
whereas the code, and the working version of msgfmt, work with a hashtable saying (1,0,5,3,4,0,2).

BTW a workaround is "msgfmt --no-hash test3.po" ;)

I'll try 0.14.5 now from sources, to see why it produces something different.
