Hi,

When using "localized" template tags (I'm using french for example), some of the tags (defined in lib/MT/Utils.pm) have accents.

MT (2.63 at least) seems to suppose that only one encoding can be used with a specific language, and for example uses iso-latin-1 as a default when the system is set to use french as a base language. But nothing stops users from specifying another encoding with the PublishCharset configuration parameter. But if you do that, the terms with accents (e.g the term for august in french has an accent, and actually it's the case for many european languages) cause a terrible encoding mess.

Ideally MT would convert this term on the fly to the PublishCharset used, but if that's not possible, there should be (and I don't think there is) a Tag attribute to, say, use iconv to convert the content of the tags to one given encoding.
