15848	Regression in `makessages -d django` when processing multi-line comments with non-ASCII characters	Ramiro Morales	nobody	"As reproted Denis Drescher via email:

The fix committed in [15882] causes problems with comments that contain Unicode characters. The error is:

{{{
...
File "".../django/utils/translation/trans_real.py"", line 450, in templatize
   content = u''.join(comment)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position
131: ordinal not in range(128)
}}}

To reproduce it, just add a comment block to a template that contains a string such as this one, where the apostrophe is non-ASCII: “It doesn’t work properly on our page.”

To sort of fix it, I removed the three “u”s in lines 450, 457, and 459 of the file, but I read somewhere that the way to go is to use Unicode consistently everywhere, so this solution may not be ideal.
