In general, the server encoding is S, the client encoding is C, and the
messages are stored (in the source, or in the PO files) in encoding M.
When the server sends a message to the client, it tries to convert a
string of encoding M, thinking it is in encoding S, to encoding C. So,
yes, there is a problem, but it's not easy to fix.
