I have this error too.
in the currency api module ( http://drupal.org/project/currency ) there are a list of currency propierties like

array(

'DZD' => array('name' => t('Algerian Dinar (DZD)'), 'symbol' => t('دج'), 'decimals' => 2),
.....

if you active the client footer they want to traslate this simbols and in the line 306
$source = $values[0] === TRUE ? '' : htmlspecialchars($values[0], ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8');
crash...

I dont know how solver the problem and comment this lines in currency module.

Title:php error Invalid multibyte sequence in argument» Seems that sometimes translation sources include PHP sequences

I'm getting this error, too. The reason seems to be, that the module doesn't recognize PHP sequences in some text areas. In my project, for example, I'm using PHP in some VIEWS header areas. So when I put the following in my VIEWS header:

<?php print l("New", "node/add/sometype");?>

the module treats this sequence as translation source, which imo shouldn't be.

Boris

Are you using i18n module as well?

Subscribe,

// line 306
$source = $values[0] === TRUE ? '' : htmlspecialchars($values[0], ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8');

Is there a way in PHP to know what string of $values[0] throws the warning?

Thanks

Yes, the error is actually with those modules, or your expectations vs. your settings. i18n provides a settings page for permissions to decide who can edit strings in which input formats. If you use PHP input format for certain text, and you do not have permission to edit those translations but still could, there is some error with that. If you set it to allow PHP format editing, its you expect something else and it works right :)

Moving this to the i18n queue.

Thanks.
I had indeed disabled the translation of PHP strings in admin/settings/language/configure/strings.
Alas, even enabling this option didn't solve the problem.
Actually mine might be a different issue because the error is thrown by line 313, not 306:
//line 313
$target = $values[1] === TRUE ? '' : htmlspecialchars($values[1], ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8');

[EDIT]: just noticed it's the same string :)
