IMS Import/Export of a course translation causes site error

[tom]

An IMS import or export of a course translation causes site errors (using FF on an intel mac).

Here's the error when I try to do an IMS import for a course translation (French): Type de l'erreur: AlreadyTranslated? Valeur de l'erreur: http://localhost:9004/eduCommons/biology/test-ims-import

Here's the error when I try to do an IMS export for a course translation (French): Type de l'erreur: UnicodeDecodeError? Valeur de l'erreur: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 35: ordinal not in range(128)

It seems IMS exports of course translations could work, but I'm not sure how you would do an IMS import. How would the individual translated objects know which objects of the original course they should be connected to?

I also got this error when attempting an IMS import into a blank course in French:

Type de l'erreur: AttributeError? Valeur de l'erreur: teste-ims-import

OK, it looks like the things that cause problems with IMS imports include (1) AlreadyTranslated?: when the import tries to overwrite an abject that already has a translation connected to it; and (2) UnicodeDecodeError?: when the IMS package being imported contains non-stadard characters (French accents, etc.) Other than this, it looks like you can successfully import and export IMS files in courses with translations. ZIP imports/exports don't seem to have any problems.
