Bug Description

Under the Windows + bzr 2.5
If we apply i18n to messages used by exceptions, they can't be printed to the console
correctly.

For example:
  Without i18n
    $ bzr log --author=xxx
    bzr: ERROR: Bad value "xxx" for option "authors".

  With i18n
    $ bzr log --author=xxx
    bzr: ERROR: 繧ｪ繝励す繝ｧ繝ｳ "authors" 縺ｫ蟇ｾ縺吶ｋ荳肴ｭ｣縺ｪ蛟､ "xxx"

Is this a problem to be fixed ? Or should we avoid translate messages used by exceptions ?

Output of bzr version:
  Bazaar (bzr) 2.5b4
    Python interpreter: C:\DEVELOP\py_envs\bzr2.5-mingw\Scripts\python.exe 2.7.2
    Python standard library: C:\DEVELOP\py_envs\bzr2.5-mingw\lib
    Platform: Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1
    bzrlib: C:\DEVELOP\py_envs\bzr2.5-mingw\lib\site-packages\bzrlib
    Bazaar configuration: C:/Users/iwata/AppData/Roaming/bazaar/2.0

That's because wrong encoding used. It should be fixed in core.

See bug 777996 for the same issue in qbzr, and bug 273978 for a related weakness with the exception formatting code. The basic problem is BzrError.__str__ does encodes as utf-8 unconditionally, and trace.print_exception uses that rather than BzrError.__unicode__ and then encoding appropriately.
