Dupuy,<br><br>Yes that is a familiar error message. As I recall, it can occur when a user (any user, not just the one getting the error) creates a username with non-ASCII characters. The presence of that non-ASCII username in the user database produces that error message for any user that touches the user database in any way (e.g. by logging in). <br>
<br>I have identified the user (with a username in Arabic script) and I will reach out to explain that ironically, the older version of Pootle we use has this limitation in the use of native scripts for usernames. I will remove the problematic username and ask them nicely to make do with an ASCII username. I beleive that this is how Sayamindu fixed things the last time this occurred on the OLPC Pootle server.<br>

Please log onto the Pootle server and reviewing your favorite language(s).<br>

I was attempting to update my Projects to include the 0.84 release project (although I'm not 100% certain that these are the ones you are talking about, as opposed to the the unversioned Sucrose, Fructose etc.) and I got the following unfortunately familiar error:<br>
<br>
Error 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)<br>

Apologies for the delay in fixing this - apparently a user had<br>
registered with a non ASCII username which was choking Pootle. Had to<br>
find it out and disable it. It should work properly now.<br>

There is a Pootle bug about this (<a href="http://bugs.locamotion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954" target="_blank">http://bugs.locamotion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954</a>) but it doesn't have much in the way of details or anything... I'm cc'ing Friedel Wolff, who was assigned that ticket, in case he has any suggestions or comments (or in case you can provide him with more details on this problem).<br>

For cases like yours, (and Bastien's), please mail<br>
translate at <a href="http://rt.laptop.org" target="_blank">rt.laptop.org</a> to ensure that this does not get lost in my<br>
mailbox. :-)<br>

I am cc'ing that address as well, although I'm not sure that it is relevant anymore or even used now that the OLPC/Sugar Labs Pootle instance has moved over to Sugar Labs.<br>
