Description papoteur 2021-11-10 13:14:00 CET 
When the translated string contains Unicdoe '…', Perl script crashes with:
Wide character at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Locale/gettext.pm line 226.

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install shutter
2. Run this script:

use POSIX qw/setlocale/;
use Locale::gettext;
$d = Locale::gettext->domain("shutter");
$d->dir( "/usr/share/locale");
print $d->get('Rename');
print $d->get('_Rename...');

The last line causes the crash when the environment is French, because the translation is "_Renommer…"
