Hello,

Here's the scenario to reproduce the error condition.

* Create patron categories with non-latin characters and then perform a search
on patrons using non-latin characters.

The patch is trying to fix two things.

* Double encoding of utf8 strings. This happens in Templates.pm.
* In some places query needs to be uft8::decode'ed. I have done that to fix
problems that showed up when Templates.pm was updated.

After applying the patch, following pages need to be tested.

* Patron search - Need to see all places on the results page that may contain
non-latin characters. You need to have patron categories with non-latin
characters.
* Catalog search - Need to check places where non-latin characters appear
* Non-latin templates e.g. koha in Russian language. I think this task will
take a lot of time.

Regards,
Ketan
