Hi,

I think I solved the problem.

<dtml-var "MessageCatalog('Hallo Welt!').encode('utf-8')">

works. I read some further and found out that I should use something like

import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

I set it global in sitecustomize.py under /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages and then 


<dtml-var "MessageCatalog('Hallo Welt!')">

works. Now I only must find the right place for setdefaultencoding() so
it only affect my zope-instance.

Regars
Patrick
