[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#3358) Use of not ASCII char in msgid

["Davide Pagnin via RT" <rt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

        Hi all!

As already pointed out somewhere else by Jason, the introduction of
legend part in the nation rulesets, has brought a problem for i18n, in
the sense that for danish.ruleset it is used a non ascii char.

The improper char is the a ring in Blåtand.

I think that we should not use non ascii char in the msgid, even if this
means that the spelling is not perfect.

The correct solution, IMHO, is to give a TRANS: hint to translator as
have been done with the dunedain.ruleset (where dunedain is used instead
of dùnedain).

See the attached patch for the proposed solution.
