Could you show us some output? What does the gibberish look like? strings of
\x999 characters?

Do the translated or untranslated messages cause these problems?

I use a latin-1 based language with UTF-8 characterset which does not show

Can you give us more info (as much as you can think of) describing your
system, svn version, message translation, etc?
