Lazim,

A number of users have seen this error, but it does not seem to prevent them
from registering or translating.

This has been seen before:

It seems to be some error in the python code in jtoolkit having to do with
non-ASCII characters in a username in the database.   I suspect it has
something to do with the fact that we are using a somewhat older version of
Pootle.

Please have your colleagues send an e-mail to me (off-list) and I will check
their accounts and help them with activation if they did not get an
activation e-mail from the registration process.
