- Install Babel 2.3.4 as specified in the `requirements.txt` - In a Python file, do not add the line `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` - Create a translatable string with a non-ASCII character, e.g. `Amount in €` - Export the translation The exported term is incorrect: `Amount in â¬`. Since the default encoding for Python 3 is UTF-8, it is logical for the Babel extraction to use it as a default encoding. The issue was solved in Babel 2.4.0 with commit: https://github.com/python-babel/babel/commit/33a8fc40d417b401162e2d20021fcbebcc4ab7db opw-1984480 closes odoo/odoo#33671 Signed-off-by: Nicolas Martinelli (nim) <nim@odoo.com>
