I can't reproduce that. It certainly returns non-ASCII strings.

I think you misinterpret what you are seeing (although it's not really
clear what it is that you are seeing). AFAICT, the current behavior is
by design.

This doesn't make sense. Unicode strings *cannot* be ASCII-encoded.
They are always Unicode-encoded - that's why they are called unicode
strings.

Unicode strings don't have different encodings. They are encoded in
Unicode.

The call to unicode only applies to the msgid, not the translation.
This should be safe, since the msgid will only contain ASCII characters.
