UnicodeDecodeError when registering maps in a STRDS using a translated version of GRASS

[lrntct]

Using a Spanish locale, the following error appears when trying to register maps in a STRDS using the python interface:

Registrando mapas en conjunto de datos espacio temporales...
Actualizando conjunto de datos temporales...

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 28: ordinal not in range(128)

Changing the system settings to English fix the issue.

Below is a minimum working example. Try to run it with a Spanish locale, it will fail. In English, it will run OK.

import grass.temporal as tgis
import grass.script as gscript
import grass.pygrass.utils as gutils

def create_map_list():
    """Create a list with random raster maps"""
    map_list = []
    for i in range(5):
        map_name = 'map_test{}'.format(i)
        map_id = '{}@{}'.format(map_name, gutils.getenv('MAPSET'))
        # create random raster map
        gscript.run_command('r.random.surface', output=map_name, overwrite=OVR)
        # populate list
        map_list.append((map_id, i))
    return map_list

def register_maps_in_stds(stds_id, map_list):
    """Create a STDS, create one RasterDataset for each map and
    register them in the temporal database
    """
    # create stds
    stds = tgis.open_new_stds(stds_id, 'strds', 'relative',
                              "test", "", "mean", overwrite=OVR)

    # populate MapDataset objects list
    map_dts_lst = []
    for map_id, map_time in map_list:
        # create MapDataset
        map_dts = tgis.RasterDataset(map_id)
        # load spatial data from map
        map_dts.load()
        # set time
        map_dts.set_relative_time(map_time, None, 'seconds')
        # populate the list
        map_dts_lst.append(map_dts)
    # Register the maps
    tgis.register.register_map_object_list('raster', map_dts_lst, stds,
                                           delete_empty=True, unit='seconds')

tgis.init()
register_maps_in_stds('strds_test', create_map_list())

Remove gettext macros from debug messages

Attached a patch to remove undesired gettext macros from debug messages - a will guess: does it help?
