I'm French and I've lmett this problem with the accents. Here is a 
solution that I use.

Instead of
          self.button.setText(self.tr("Créer les deux fichiers"))
I use in my class dial_Projet2
          
self.button.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("dial_Projet2", "Créer 
les deux fichiers", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))

Christophe.
