I am running Drupal 5.6 site, with il8n 5.x-2.2. When we export languages the .po files are non-unicode, and the utf8 fonts are corrupted. If we upload a fresh translation into a new language variable, as soon as we export, the file is corrupt again. We are unable to translate our site in this current state.

Cannot reproduce. I just exported languages on Drupal 5.7 with i18n 5.x2.2 and it worked good.
The .po files are encoded as UTF-8.
Have you tried to open the file and change the encoding to Unicode?
Maybe it is just the editor getting the wrong charset.

Anyway...
IMO this issue belongs to Drupal project, not to Internationalization (i18n), because the language export is managed by the locale module, which is a core module.

Thanks Riccardo

It's strange, worked fine on 5.3, 5.5. The file is being exported as Latin1, so UTF8 chars are corrupted. I'll take this over to the core, it's not your issue.

Will upgrade to 5.7 and see if that solves things.
