[html-formfu] Error when encoding the error messages

[Octavian Râşniţă]

Hi,

I use Catalyst::Plugin::I18N::DBI for I18N with HTML::FormFu and in some 
cases the error messages are not encoded correctly to UTF-8.

For example, instead of
Trebuie să aibă între 6 şi 20 caractere
the message is:
Trebuie să aibă între 6 şi 20 caractere

In other cases where the error messages don't contain [_1]... the messages 
are printed well, with all those special chars for romanian language.

The settings I use in the Catalyst app configuration file for 
Catalyst::Plugin::I18N::DBI are:

'I18N::DBI' => {
dsn => 'dbi:mysql:database=brk',
user => 'root',
password => "",
languages => ['ro', 'en'],
lexicons => ['site'],
lex_class => 'DB::Lexicon',
default_lang => 'en',
},

The translations are done well on the entire site and also those 
HTML::FormFu error messages that don't contain variables marked with [_1]...
I've checked the database and the strings are stored well there. I've taken 
the standard HTML::FormFu error messages from the lexicon hash from the 
HTML::FormFu::I18N::ro module.

In MyApp::Schema::Result::Lexicon DBIC class module I have put:
__PACKAGE__->load_components("UTF8Columns");
__PACKAGE__->utf8_columns(qw/lex key value notes/);

I have also tried to comment these 2 lines, but with no effect.

I thought that maybe Catalyst::Plugin::I18N::DBI that uses 
Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::DBI doesn't connect well to the database (MySQL) 
and doesn't get the values as UTF-8 encoded, but it is not the case since 
other HTML::FormFu error messages are printed fine.

Do you have any idea what could be the problem?

Thank you.
