  I agree.

  * All strings must be encoded in US-ASCII only that can be appeared
    as msgid strings or comments in *.po files.

  * If the string can be represented with readable mnemonic like
    'é', write the string with them as a comment. Or, provide
    files in utf-8 or another and refers to it in a comment.
