Given your setup that would be WAKom
The strings in you image will have utf-8 encoding where each character
is acutally only a byte, this is very similiar to Ruby.
There is just one catch, you need a special version of Kom for Squeak
3.9 that is not publically available. IIRC if you install Seaside over
SqueakMap you will get this version of Kom.

If you want to have "Unicode" strings in you image use WAKomEncoded39

1. use a symbol and look it up (in a table in the session or something similar)
#home translate

2. use a special kind of multilingual string object
'home' << 'Haus'  << 'maison'
