YAY! that was the missing bit. I was using /usr/bin/msgfmt

Here is what I did:

iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -o mailman.po.new mailman.po # convert  
from latin-1 to utf-8
mv mailman.po mailman.po.old # just in case
mv mailman.po.new mailman.po
../../../bin/msgfmt.py mailman.po # generate .mo from .po

:-)

Thanks for the help!
