That's what it's supposed to be. I guess I should've asked if we know what it's 
being mistranslated to?

Is there a problem if the .po file specifies:

   "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"

but the user isn't using a UTF-8 locale?

In other words, I'm theorizing that our translations are stored - and returned 
- in UTF-8, but mbstowcs() is using the locally-specified system encoding.
