So, not to let this go cold... Zanata should check for invalid characters before saving any translation.

Ah! So, not based on Lucene indexes then.

This was the editor's search. (top left corner of the editor)

With Okapi files, it could be a problem if someone used the cli tools to
download a PO file for offline translation work. The Python client might be
okay, since JSON can generally escape any character.

I'm a little surprised that the indexer is indexing the invalid characters.
Which search function was that?
