Ha!! I know!

You call g_locale_to_utf8() function even on localized messages!

E.g.: In dummies.c, I read :

s = g_locale_to_utf8(_("Reading..."), -1, &r_bytes, &w_bytes, NULL);

Since the translations are already in UTF8, The translation on
"Reading..." in UTF8

By calling g_locale_to_utf8(), you transform UTF8 to UTF8 assuming that
UTF8 is in the locale encoding! SO not surprisingly, you get wrong
results if the locale is not UTF8...

Problem, this error is repeated all along the code :(
