command-not-found's output get garbled with ja_JP.EUC-jp locale

[supernova]

% env LANG=ja_JP.EUC-JP /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/command-not-found -- emacs

the command above outputs UTF-8 output. (EUC-JP is correct)

Using lgettext() insterd of gettext() solve the probelem.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behaviour you expected, and
3. the behaviour you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Thanks for your bugreport.

I'm happy to change this in command-not-found but I wonder if you haven't seen this behavior in a lot of other applications as well?
