UnicodeError with newforms and non-english error messages

Reported by: Honza Král <Honza.Kral@…> Owned by: Adrian Holovaty
Component: Forms Version: dev
Severity: Keywords: unicode newforms errors

Description

When I use LANGUAGE_CODE = 'cs' and have some errors in newforms, the template rendering fails because the errors are unicode strings, and the rest of the system fails to handle that correctly (so trying {{ form.field.errors|join:", " }} fails horribly).

I attached a patch that takes care of the problem by encoding all the errors using settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET in ValidationError .

All tests pass

Triage Stage: UnreviewedDesign decision needed

Changing triage stage to design decision needed - Do we want this, or is there some cleaner and simpler way how to make newforms' errors work for "funky" characters?

Added patch for "funky" characters, decodes the utf8, then re-encodes as unicode.
