So for instance I can display "?Que' es esto?" fine in the buffer
(with an upside down ?, and an "e acute" which won't go through the
mail system), but if I try to display it on the frame title, it gets
truncated after the first ascii character.
I'm not sure whether emacs should be able to do this, or not, so I
don't know whether this is a bug, or not!
In principle, the failure to handle multilingual text in any context
is a bug. There is code in x_set_name (xfns.c) to encode non-ASCII
chars in the coding system compound-text. Could you investigate
why this feature does not work?
On a separate front, any advice, as to how to strip non ascii
characters, or rather translate them to return something equivalent
(so "e acute" would return "e" and so on), which I could use as a work
around, would be much appreciated.
I don't think we have anything like this. We could add it if someone
implements it.
It might be useful in menus, as long as menus can't fully handle
non-ASCII chars.
