intltool-update -p fails to generate phonetooth.pot

[GoogleCodeExporter]

tom@compal:~/phonetooth-read-only/po$ intltool-update -p
ERROR: xgettext failed to generate PO template file because there is non-ASCII
       string marked for translation. Please make sure that all strings marked
       for translation are in uniform encoding (say UTF-8), then *prepend* the
       following line to POTFILES.in and rerun intltool-update:

           [encoding: UTF-8]

Please fix this, otherwise it's not possible to generate the pot file and
translate the application.

I added [encoding: UTF-8] to POTFILES.in.

I hope that solves the problem, I'm a gettext newbie, never used it before.

I had to remove the [encoding: UTF-8] line again because otherwise the build 
fails
because it thinks [encoding: UTF-8] is a file.

Not sure what to do with this...

How about finding the non-ASCII string marked for translation and fixing it?

it's the string with the copyright symbol, but what do I have to do with it?
