I worked on a product which was translated into 6 languages; we supplied 
templates in ASCII and used TMPL_VAR's to output the appropriate 
UTF8-encoded string.

ie: there are no real problems if your templates are just layouts and 
the content is provided by TMPL_VAR's.

As an aside, there are a number of different techniques used to get the 
UTF8 strings into the templates, eg: TMPL_VAR's, hacks to H::T, using 
H::T::E with a callback.
