That's *exactly* the same problem we had before in the themestrings.h
file (double encoding) and while it's fixed in the themestrings.h file
now we have it when the strings are transferred in the translations
files by lupdate.
I think I have an idea how to fix it (assuming lupdate is actually able
to extract UTF-8 correctly) but in the mean time we'll keep the (US
English) source string like that in order not to break the hard string
freeze. If we get reports from any of the translators that some strings
are untranslatable we *might* temporarily break the string freeze in
order to correct these issues and fix this at the same time..

Yep, it's here too... I wasn't the person who translated it in my team
so I hadn't noticed it but I can see the problem is present here too...

Which is what we must do unless we have a *very good* reason to
temporarily break the string freeze...

Thank you!
