Support multibyte character sets, principally UTF-8; most
critically, do not break multibyte characters across lines, but lots
of other problems are present. This implies major changes to Info,
since it currently assumes byte/character equivalence (having been
written long before multibyte character sets were common).

Here's a careful bug report on the subject (the sender can help test):

Here's an initial bug report and "patch" that simply disables translation.
