  GStreamer | gstreamer (core) | Ver: 0.10.x
           Summary: gstreamer doesn't tell gettext to output its
                    translations in UTF-8
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: fcrozat at mandriva.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


currently, almost all  bindtextdomain calls in the entire gstreamer stacks are
missing bind_textdomain_codeset (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, "UTF-8") call after.

This missing call is causing gettext to return translated text in local
encoding, which is not always UTF-8 (if locale used is not an UTF-8 locale).
Since most applications are expecting UTF-8 strings from gstreamer, it can
cause incorrect display, like in gnome-sound-properties 2.23.6 in french.

I'm attaching patches fixing this issues for all various gstreamer tarballs.
