Translate to UTF-8 before sanitation. Edit (626 bytes, text/plain)

Hi,

I just ran into this bug whilst setting up wicd on Yocto Linux. It seems in the neighbourhood we have an access point that has all kinds of rubbish characters in its SSID, and this causes wicd to crash with the above issue, in spite of the patches.

I fixed it with the following patch. The purpose here, is to filter out all the "garbage" characters in the string that would otherwise yield a unicode object, *then* perform the translate.
