Unfortunately I am English, so I haven't run into these problems myself,
but a project I'm working on at the moment is having similar problems with
one of our German testers. One thing I did notice in your code is that you
are not sending Unicode strings through. Try using the u'Some Text' (note
the "u") and see if that helps?

Let us know if this has any effect.
