Hi,

there's a problem with the encoding which is used for the po=20
(translation) files. For example the German translations are encoded in=20
latin1. But some of those strings are passed to the pinentry programs=20
and at least pinentry-qt expects the strings to be in utf-8.

BTW, I found a small bug in the German translation:

Index: de.po
