Dear maintainers,
I found out, that playonlinux is crashing in German environment. You can
start playonlinux, but when you click on the option "start a local script",
playonlinux hangs and can only be stopped by the kill command (or in KDE by
using CTL-ALT-ESC).

When playonlinux is started in console, you get the following mssaqge:

.....
.....
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/playonlinux/python/guiv3.py", line 903, in AutoReload
    self.texteP.SetLabel(self.fichier[3].replace("\\n","\n").decode("utf8"))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xfc in position 77:
invalid start byte

and so on, and so on.

When I am starting playonlinux in an English environment, by doing 
LANG=C playonlinux, then playonlinux is working fine.

Maybe this bug did not appear, as there might be no people, which are
German + using Linux + using playonlinux.

Maybe you might nevertheless have a look at it, would be nice.

Best regards

Hans
