One way to handle non-ASCII characters is to 'round' everything up to similar ASCII, say 'a' instead of 'à'.
However, this works if you are registering domains yourselves. Since client code is for your customers mostly, it's probably best to add note on the side of the web page that explains to the customers this fact (and that we hope registry changes rules in the future). As for "Registration Successful", this is a response text from API. You _can_ intercept and translate it, but translation gets very tedious and difficult to maintain for error responses. Reasonable approach would be to translate few of the often seen errors, like "domain taken", and to let other, unrecognized errors pass through untouched. This is not ideal, but it's probably the most cost effective way to handle it.
