OK thanks, it becomes clearer now. 
If I insert a UTF-8 string in my code it is displayed properly 
(as in gnome-hello).

The problem comes from the translated strings.

I am using xmli18n to merge po files and xml files.
What happen is that the resulting after the merge is wrong (I believe).
In my xml file, I get for example the code sequence C3 83 C2 A9 for the é
(French e accent) where it should be C3 A9.

I have installed intltool 0.23 :
intltool-0.23.0.200212051856-0.snap.ximian.1.i386.rpm

But it does not change anything.

I also tested to put my fr.po file in ISO-8859-1 or in UTF-8 
before the intltool-merge but still does not change.

Any idea ?

Bruno.
