Hi,

Thanks for your translation work!  I see that you are a member of
the Catalan team on the translationproject.org.

I plugged in the Catalan phrase directly into the code, recompiled and
reproduced the error by running it and opening up the Army Bonus dialog.

The problem is that I'm not putting *any* of the translated phrases
through the Glib::locale_to_utf8 method.  Whoops!  The next version of
the game will contain that fix.

I've made a bug in the tracker for this issue.
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?31137

Thanks so much for reporting this!  I hope to include your Catalan
translation in the next version.
