cannot download translated .po file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Trying to download file by clicking "download" link and get UnicodeDecodeError

at line 214 of views.py  - str(rosetta_i18n_pofile)

it works fine on empty .po files - with no translations, but once translations 
are added in 
unicode - I get that error.

Is this something that I can fix in my configuration or a real bug?

Thanks!!! We've almost translated askbot forum to German and Turkish, Russian 
and Serbian are 
in process.

Cheers.

Evgeny.

Evgeny, sorry for the late feedback, would you please share the pofile that 
generates the error when you try to 
generate the zip file?

Hello,

I have this problem too. I tracked it to a bug in polib, which I raised here:

Before polib is updated, this should fix it on Rosetta's side, and should also 
work with David's proposed changes in polib.
