$ env | grep -i lang
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

I've also tried adding -utf8 to the tidy call. Using ru as an example I get:

title>Ð"омашнÑÑ Ñтраница Ubuntu</title>

If I simply omit tidy I get:
ДÐ&frac34;Ð&frac14;ашÐ&frac12;ÑÑ
ÑтраÐ&frac12;ица
Ubuntu
Which is equally uninteligable and incorrect.

The ru.po shows this for the title:
Домашняя страница Ubuntu

So apparently this solution does not work for me. If I were to compile
all of the translations into a bzr branch and share it would you or
someone else who's having success be willing to run the localize
script for me?

< I was able to do this and the branch is shared here:
http://people.ubuntu.com/~mnuzum/projects/start/

If someone who is able to create the translated files would be willing
to check out my code and run the script and then send me a patch with
the results that would be great. What you do is:

bzr co http://people.ubuntu.com/~mnuzum/projects/start/

cd start/startpage/
./localize

And send me the your changed branch (either by commiting it and
pushing it somewhere or emailing me an archive). The two translations
with errors that I feel are easy to spot are Russian and Spanish.
Russian doesn't end up looking like Russian at all and Spanish (es)
has a capital accented A in the title where it shouldn't be.
