#7697: [AboutSystem] Link to MIT licence looks strange when localized

Comment (by taos):
Okay, call me completely mad. I think I found the problem: Characters with
diacritics (e.g. é, ö, ñ) are counted twice (but why?). Therefore, the
string is cut into parts at the wrong places. Instead of cutting out the
%s (... |%|MIT...|%| ...), the cut position is shifted (e.g. ...
%|M|IT...%| |...).
There is a linear correlation between the number of characters with
diacritics in the translated string before %MIT...% and the shifting of
the cut position.
||= language =||= number of diacritics =||= shift of cutting position =||=
cutting positions =||= image =||
|| English || 0 || 0 || |%|MIT licence|%|. || [[Image(en.png)]] ||
|| Dutch || 0 || 0 || |%|MIT-licence|%|. || [[Image(nl.png)]] ||

Any ideas how to solve this?
