As it appears to me, the message is being translated correctly except for one 
letter - the é. Is that correct? If yes, do we know what it's being translated 
to? If no, can the precise problem be explained more clearly?

I've checked, and the translation looks correct within the fr.po file.

   msgid "screen not in text mode"
   msgstr "L'écran n'est pas en mode texte"

The code looks correct to me. The screen driver already calls gettext(), so the 
message as rturned by the screen driver is already translated. Then it gets 
translated into wchars via brltty's convertTextToWchars(), which is mapped to 
mbstowcs().
