Reported through #tails-dev: with Tails 4.4.1 configured in Turkish, it’s not possible to copy successfully.

Reproduced locally in a VM: a Unicode decoding error in gui.py:266. Removing the try/catch around the relevant code block to pinpoint the exact location, here’s what I get:

amnesia@amnesia:~$ tails-installer
Exception in thread Thread-2:

Out the blue, I’d assume this isn’t related to #17568…
