Description

filter_horizontal & filter_vertical widgets does not work if verbose_name contains non-ascii (or maybe Turkish, I'm not sure) characters.

Doesn't work

class SomeModel(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    books = models.ManyToManyField(SomeOtherModel, verbose_name='this does not work -- şüğöç')

Does work

class SomeModel(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    books = models.ManyToManyField(SomeOtherModel, verbose_name='this works')

This is an unusual presentation, but the issue here is that you have non-ascii characters in a bytestring. Make verbose_name a unicode string and give your models.py file a PEP-263 encoding, and your example works fine.
