Hi there,

When trying to validate an invoice it fails giving this stack trace. This error happen while it tries to post the 'account.mt_invoice_validated message in the chatter of the invoice.

The french translation of "validated" is "validé". I don't get the error running the database localy on my machin under windows.

Hi,

I would like to add that under windows I'm running OpenERP under an eclipse/pydev environment. And my PyDev conf is probably set with an utf-8 default encoding.
